Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will be looking to head into the World Cup break and additionally Christmas at the top of the table. A win today over Wolves would secure the Christmas number one spot for the first time since the 2007/08 season.
Julen Lopetegui will have to wait until after the World Cup to take charge of Wolves, but that will give him plenty of time to start planning a Premier League survival plan for a team that sit 19th in the league. Wolves are the league's lowest scorers this season (8 goals) and with just 8 points from their last 10 Premier League games, league leaders Arsenal will be full of confidence coming to play at Molineux today.
Arsenal are averaging an impressive 2.38 goals scored per game this season, and with goals coming from across their attacking line up I expect Arsenal to score over 1.50 goals once again (4/6). You can see a breakdown of the shooting statistics here where you will see the Arsenal front-line have been creating numerous chances so far this season.
My best shooting bets for today:
Arsenal to have 7 or more shots on target (15/8)
Odegaard to have 1 or more shots on target (5/6)
Odegaard to have 2 or more shots (1/2)
The numbers stack up against Wolves today, and with Arsenal coming into this game with the best away record in the league we can expect another win today. Arteta will need to make sure his side don't get complacent with their recent form, and although the midweek cup defeat was played by a second-string Arsenal side, it was also a reminder that no game at this level can be taken for granted.
Expect a high-flying Arsenal to create numerous chances today. And if Wolves are to take anything away, they will need to produce the best defensive display of the season so far.
