Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Arsenal will be looking to keep their foot down to quieten some of their critics here. Though they're top of the league, there have been plenty of suggestions that their football has been less than free-flowing this term. They've definitely dropped the pace since making that blistering start.

Wolves are enjoying more time on the ball now, moving it patiently in midfield. Arsenal keep their shape well, however, and Bellegarde's ambitious pass runs too long for Hwang on the right-hand side.

SAVE FROM RAYA! That's as close as Wolves have come. Cunha turns Rice inside-out on the left side of the area before blasting a shot towards the near post, and Raya has to stay alert to push it away. That's better from the visitors!

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

If there are any Wolves fans requiring some positivity with their team 2-0 down, they have won seven of their 15 points in the Premier League this season from losing positions, with only Liverpool (12), Tottenham, Brighton and Chelsea (all eight) fighting back for more points. However, Arsenal have only dropped four points from winning positions, though those all came in 2-2 draws on this ground, against Fulham and Tottenham…

Wolves finally break out as Bellegarde carries the ball forward before playing it wide to Hugo Bueno. His deep cross is awkwardly headed into the air by Zinchenko, then Hwang can only slice his volley behind, much to the Ukrainian's relief.

No penalty is the decision, with Kilman's touch on Jesus being extremely light. O'Neil must have been holding his breath there!

CHANCE! Arsenal are camped on the edge of Wolves' area now. Tomiyasu swings a cross across the face of goal, and Jesus just fails to nod it into an empty net. Jesus is pleading for a penalty, saying Kilman pushed him, and the VAR will take a closer look...

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Saka has been electric so far. He skips past Hugo Bueno with ease before standing up a right-footed cross, but Kilman gets there ahead of Jesus to clear. Arsenal come again through Trossard, but his cross is also headed out by Kilman.
