Arsenal moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League table after beating a struggling Wolves side on Saturday night. A fortuitous Sam Johnstone own goal broke the deadlock in the 70th minute before Tolu Arokodare looked to have stolen a point for the Premier League’s bottom side in the 90th minute.
However, in injury time a second Wolves own goal - this time Yerson Mosquera heading into his own net under pressure from Gabriel Jesus - gave Arsenal all three points in a dramatic finale in north London as the Gunners, for long periods, struggled to break down a well-drilled Wolves team that came so very close to earning a surprise point and blowing the title race firmly open for a second straight week.
The visitors, meanwhile, are remarkably still without a league win this season and have now lost nine games in a row, scoring just twice during this difficult period.

Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium
20:32 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThat is gutting for White, who has had fitness issues over the past. He will be hoping that hamstring injury is not a bad one.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:31 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne30 min: A real shame for White as he is replaced by Lewis-Skelly.
Would imagine that means Arsenal’s back four will shift over one. Saliba now partnering Hincapie in the middle.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves

Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:24 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne23 min: Few groans from the Arsenal supporters as Martinelli is penalised for a foul on Doherty. The Brazilian’s boot was rather high, though he did not appear to make much contact with the Wolves defender.
Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium
20:21 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneAll pretty flat, so far. Wolves are doing a decent job of slowing the game down and stopping Arsenal from finding their rhythm.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:19 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne19 min: Fantastic defending from Toti to get across and cut out White’s cross from inside the box. The offside was up but the Wolves captain wasn’t to know that.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:18 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne17 min: Saka goes on the outside and stands up a decent cross for Rice who can’t generate enough power on his header and Johnstone claims the ball under no pressure.
Chance here for Wolves as Hwang wins a free-kick from Timber.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne15 min: J Gomes is back on his feet after receiving treatment. He will have to go off for 30 seconds before being allowed to continue.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:14 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne13 min: Arsenal build down the right as Saka feeds Gyokeres but he can’t wriggle away from his marker before Eze is penalised for a high boot on Joao Gomes.
That will be a sore on for the Wolves midfelder as he was caught in the face.
Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium
20:11 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneArsenal with just under 70 per cent possession during the opening 10 minutes - the pattern for this game has been set.

20:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne9 min: Arsenal pressure slowly building as Saka wins another free-kick but Wolves are able to deal with Rice’s delivery towards the front post.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne7 min: Arsenal work a short free-kick well as Hincapie puts in a cross which causes concern for Wolves and they concede a corner which is also played short, though the hosts can’t make much of it.
That’s until Saka picks out Timber with a floating cross but the Dutchman heads over.
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne4 min: Bit of possession for Wolves as they recycle the ball from the left to right before the attack breaks down at the final moment. Gabriel Martinelli is down near the touchline, but should be fine to continue.
Another Arsenal free-kick...
Arsenal 0-0 Wolves
20:03 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne2 min: Doherty concedes a foul and Arsenal have their first free-kick of the night. Rice standing over the ball, it’s a really good position but the delivery from the midfielder is low and flat which makes it easy for Wolves to deal with.
Simon Collings at Emirates Stadium
20:01 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneSaliba has played as a left centre-back for France, so not too much of a surprise to see him there. Hincapie is at left-back.
KICK-OFF!
20:00 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWe are underway in north London.
Can Arsenal bounce back from defeat against Aston Villa last weekend and maintain their unbeaten home record this season?
HERE WE GO!
19:56 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe teams are out at the Emirates Stadium.
The final Premier League fixture of the day gets underway shortly!
Edwards reflects
19:55 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneIt is officially a month since Wolves appointed Rob Edwards as their new head coach.
However, Edwards is yet to oversee a victory. In fact, he has lost every single game so far with Wolves on a run of eight successive defeats.
Arsenal will hope to make it nine across the next couple of hours but Edwards is relishing the challenge.
He said: “Results haven't changed, so that's disappointing, because we all want to try and have an impact in terms of results, but I do feel there's a lot of good work that's gone on, and feel like we've got a really good understanding now of the group and the lads, so that's really positive as well.
“Ultimately, and what we're judged on, is the results. So, that's the bit that we're frustrated by, but the reality is that it was difficult before we came in, and I think we can see it's going to be difficult going forward I think for a period of time. But I'm energised by that. I'm looking forward to moving forward and trying to try to improve things.”
Arteta confirms transfer plan
19:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMikel Arteta says Arsenal have no plans to sell Gabriel Jesus in January.
Jesus returned from injury on Wednesday night, coming off the bench during Arsenal’s 3-0 win at Club Brugge after being out of action since January.
The striker performed well, but the prospect of him leaving next month when the transfer window opens has been mooted.
Jesus will have just 18 months left on his contract then and Arteta also has three other striker options at his disposal in Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyokeres.
But, asked about the possibility of selling Jesus in January, Arteta said: “I don’t consider that, especially with the situation we have right now."
Kick-off approaching in north London.
19:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne15 minutes to go until kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.
Declan Rice is back for Arsenal after missing the midweek Champions League win over Club Brugge.
As it stands
19:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneNothing has changed for either club regarding the results from today's other games.
Wolves can't move off the bottom of the table even with a shock win in north London, but Arsenal must take all three points if they're to guarantee ending the matchweek at the top.
Around the grounds
19:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneIt has been a quiet day in the Premier League with two 3pm GMT kick-offs and one evening game.

Arsenal vs Wolves live - team news imminent
18:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe teams will be announced within the next five minutes.
Will William Saliba and Declan Rice make it for Arsenal?
Stay tuned...
Mikel Arteta reveals William Saliba injury setbacks
18:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMikel Arteta has explained why William Saliba has been sidelined with an injury longer than expected, but is hopeful the Arsenal defender is closing in on a comeback.
Saliba has not played since the Gunners' win over Bayern Munich on November 26 after picking up what was described as a "little niggle" in training.
Arteta suggested at the time that the Frenchman would be back "in a matter of days", but Saliba has now missed the last four matches.
He remains a doubt for Arsenal's match at home to Wolves tonight, with a decision set to be made after yesterday's training session.
Mikel Arteta finally finds solution to long-term Arsenal problem
18:30 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWhen you are competing with Bukayo Saka for minutes, you have to take your chances, writes Simon Collings.
No player has made more appearances for Arsenal than Saka since Mikel Arteta was appointed six years ago.
Saka has been instrumental to the way Arsenal play, but in this packed schedule, even he needs a rest.
And if Noni Madueke continues to perform like this, then Arteta will be far more comfortable doing exactly that.
Mikel Arteta is ready to unleash a new Arsenal strikeforce
18:25 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMikel Arteta believes he can solve his selection headache up front by playing Gabriel Jesus and Viktor Gyokeres in the same team.
Arsenal have been hit hard by injuries recently, but that has been in defence and going forward, Arteta is blessed with options.
Gyokeres and Jesus can both play as a central striker, while Mikel Merino is an option there, too, and Kai Havertz will be when back from injury.
Arteta has already spoken about how Gyokeres and Havertz could play in the same side, and believes it’s the same case with Jesus.
Quadruple injury update
18:20 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneArsenal boss Mikel Arteta, yesterday, gave update on the fitness of Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Leandro Trossard and William Saliba ahead of hosting Wolves in the Premier League.
The Gunners have been hit hard by injuries over the past few weeks and were without eight players for Wednesday’s win at Club Brugge.
Arsenal will still definitely be without Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel, Kai Havertz and Max Dowman for tonight's clash against Wolves.
And Arteta remains unsure if any will return to face the Premier League’s whipping boys.
Predicted Arsenal XI
18:15 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneMikel Arteta may not have to rush Declan Rice back as he could opt to play with a midfield trio of Eberechi Eze, Martin Odegaard and Martin Zubimendi.
Arsenal played with Eze and Odegaard as two No8s earlier this season, when they hosted West Ham.
In attack, Viktor Gyokeres will hope to lead the line again after starting in Club Brugge and getting just over an hour under his belt.
Bukayo Saka was rested for that game, but should return. Noni Madueke could keep his place in team after scoring twice against Brugge, however he may have to move to the left flank.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Timber, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Zubimendi, Eze; Saka, Gyokeres, Madueke.
Viktor Gyokeres's doubters are back
18:10 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneViktor Gyokeres has not had an easy start to life at Arsenal, writes Simon Collings.
The striker’s protracted transfer saga in the summer meant he arrived late for pre-season, and then an injury to Kai Havertz in the opening game of the campaign meant he had to exclusively lead the line for months.
Gyokeres started 13 of Arsenal’s first 15 games of the season and - just when he got up to speed - injured his hamstring.
The Swede had begun to silence his doubters before that injury during Arsenal’s win at Burnley last month, but now they are back.

Head to head (h2h) history and results
17:55 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneArsenal have won the last eight meetings against Wolves by an aggregate score of 17-3. Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka were on target for the Gunners in the corresponding fixture last season.
Arsenal wins: 66
Wolves wins: 32
Draws: 28
Score prediction
17:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe gap in quality should be evident tonight. While Arsenal have a crisis in defence, they are getting their attackers back at the right time.
If Wolves defend like they did against United then it’s a chance for the Gunners to fill their boots and prove the Aston Villa loss was nothing more than a blip.
Arsenal to win, 4-0.
Wolves team news
17:45 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWolves will be without midfielder Marshall Munetsi for the trip to London but Joao Gomes is available again after serving a suspension in the loss to Manchester United.
Rodrigo Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Daniel Bentley and Leon Chiwome are all sidelined.
Arsenal team news: Rice and Saliba doubtful
17:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe Gunners will hope to have Declan Rice back in the team after the midfielder missed the win over Club Brugge through illness.
William Saliba has now missed the last four games and is a doubt alongside Leandro Trossard who sustained a fresh knock in the defeat to Aston Villa.
Jurrien Timber faces a late fitness test after sitting out the win in Bruges, with youngster Marli Salmon on standby if the Dutchman fails to recover from the kick he suffered at Villa Park.
Riccardo Calafiori is suspended which means Myles Lewis-Skelly is set to keep his place at left-back, but Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman are all out injured.
