LIVE: Arsenal vs Wolves

LIVE: Arsenal vs Wolves

39' There's a great pace about this game now. Neto beats David Luiz to fizz a low cross across the face of goal from the left but neither Silva nor Podence can reach it in time. Traore picks up the pieces shortly after. Xhaka humps his cross out for a throw-in.

37' Arsenal go on the attack again. Saka latches onto Gabriel's ball down the channel and knocks it off a defender for a corner. Wolves don't entirely clear it but get a free-kick after a foul by Gabriel on the edge of the box.

36' Just a bit on Gabriel. Only Lacazette has scored more goals in the Premier League than Gabriel's two this season. The Brazilian centre-back's scored with both of his shots on target. That sums up Arsenal's problem this campaign, although they're faring OK so far here.

34' Neto's corner comes in. Dendoncker loops a header towards Leno who gets down well to make the save. 

32' This game's end-to-end at the moment. First Saka threads a throughball for Aubamayang that's cut out by Dendoncker. Wolves go up the other end through Traore and Silva's shot is blocked, forcing a corner.

29' That goal was exactly what this game needed after an understandably sluggish start. Coady does brilliantly to stick a foot out to poke Tierney's cross away from Aubamayang in the six-yard box and out for a corner. It doesn't matter though because...

25' Traore's touch lets him down near the halfway line and Arsenal regain the ball, slowly making progress down their left. Willock feeds Saka near the corner flag but the youngster can't do anything with it.

23' Podence races down the right and flings a high cross into the box. Bellerin nods it away.

22' Wolves enjoy a spell of possession as Traore turns and takes on Arsenal's defenders. The winger loses possession and gives away a free-kick in the final third, tripping Xhaka.

21' It's very strange to see Wolves playing with a four-man defence rather than their trademark three at the back under Espirito Santo. Podence is playing alongside Silva in a 4-4-2 shape off the ball.

19' The offside flag goes up against Aubamayang. Wolves take the free-kick quickly but don't achieve much with it. Arsenal elect to keep the ball for a while.

17' Play finally gets going again as Arsenal keep possession. There'll be at least 10 minutes of stoppage time added on the end of this half. Already this game feels like it has a pallor.

13' It looks like David Luiz might be able to continue, but sadly the same can't be said of Jimenez. The Mexican has been carried off the pitch on a stretcher. He'll play no further part in this game. Let's just hope the injury isn't as serious as it looks.

11' Play still hasn't resumed. Both David Luiz and Jimenez are still receiving treatment. Espirito Santo looks worried sat down in the technical area.

9' David Luiz is getting bandaged up as he's picked up a cut to the head. About 10 people are gathered around Jimenez in the penalty area at the moment, helping as best they can. It's really awful to see. You just have to hope the Wolves player will be OK.

7' David Luiz is thankfully up on his knees and receiving treatment to his head, although Jimenez is still down and surrounded by medical staff. It looks like he hasn't moved since the incident. The staff have a stretcher ready. Silva is stripping off and getting ready to come on.

5' Arsenal win their first corner of the game down their right as Willian has a cross blocked. Willian swings the corner in and Wolves get it away. Play stops quickly though as there's been a nasty clash of heads between David Luiz and Jimenez. It looks serious.

3' Wolves start the game brightly as they win a corner off Xhaka. Arsenal are alert and manage to clear it away.

1' And we're off here in London!

The two sides are out on the Emirates Stadium pitch. As has been the case at all Premier League games this weekend, the players gather on the centre circle to pay tribute to the late great Diego Maradona.

There's not much separating these two teams these days. Arsenal have lost just one of their last 19 top-flight meetings with Wolves, while Wolves haven't won away to Arsenal in their last nine league visits, a record dating back to September 1979. However, each of Wolves' last three visits to the Emirates has ended in a 1-1 draw. Is another draw on the cards here?

Arsenal make two changes from their 0-0 draw against Leeds last week. David Luiz starts ahead of Holding at centre-back while Saka comes in for the suspended Pepe. There are three changes to Wolves' side from their 1-1 draw with Southampton. Coady, Marcal and Neto start. Kilman, Neto and Ait Nouri drop to the bench.

SUBS: Ki-Jana Hoever, Fabio Silva, Rayan Ait Nouri, Ruben Neves, Maximilian Kilman, Vitinha, John Ruddy.

WOLVES (4-2-3-1): Rui Patricio; Nelson Semedo, Conor Coady (c), Willy Boly, Marcal; Leander Dendoncker, Joao Moutinho; Adama Traore, Daniel Podence, Pedro Neto; Raul Jimenez.

SUBS: Runar Alex Runarsson, Reiss Nelson, Cedric Soares, Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah, Rob Holding, Mohamed Elneny.

ARSENAL (4-2-3-1): Bernd Leno; Hector Bellerin, David Luiz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kieran Tierney; Dani Ceballos, Granit Xhaka; Willian, Joseph Willock, Bukayo Saka; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (c).

While low scoring affairs are unusual for Arsenal, they're exactly what you expect of Wolves. Like Arsenal, only Tottenham have conceded fewer than Wolves' 10 goals this season. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are ticking over nicely in 11th, although they seem to be lacking some of the vibrancy of their past two league campaigns. Can they rediscover it here?

This will be a match-up between two of the Premier League's lowest-scoring sides so far this season. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are muddling through in 14th at the moment, having scored just once in their last five league games. The misfiring Gunners will be looking for a win to rise to the more familiar top half of the table.
