"The Gunners have never lost to a team that started the match at the bottom of the top flight. However, they showed little sign of undoing a Wolves side spirited and disciplined in defence. In fact, despite sitting deep and soaking up pressure, it was the Midlanders who had the best chance of the half when Hee-chan Hwang raced clear but his effort was saved comfortably by David Raya."
"Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta cut an increasingly frustrated figure on the touchline; his team unable to produce the same ruthlessness that has seen them open up a two-point lead at the top of the table. Gabriel Martinelli twice missed the target from close range while the returning Jurrien Timber earlier saw a header sail narrowly over from Bukayo Saka's cross."
Arsenal were held to a goalless first half by bottom club Wolves at the Emirates after Wolves produced a spirited, disciplined defensive display. Wolves sat deep and soaked up pressure, and their best chance came when Hee-chan Hwang raced clear before having his effort comfortably saved by David Raya. Arsenal created openings but lacked ruthlessness; Gabriel Martinelli twice missed from close range and Jurrien Timber saw a header sail narrowly over from Bukayo Saka’s cross. A goalless result would allow Manchester City to move level on points if they beat Crystal Palace. Arsenal returned Saliba, Rice and Timber to the line-up while several players were absent through suspension or injury; Wolves made three changes with João Gomes returning from suspension.
