Little to separate Gunners and Wolves once more
Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking for a semblance of revenge for their recent 1-0 defeat against Arsenal in the reverse fixture. Now, they travel to the Emirates two points behind the hosts and West Ham United in the Premier League on Thursday night, but they and the Gunners both have games in hand on the east London outfit. Read our preview here:
Get the Partey started
Though perhaps not as headline-grabbing as other teammates in red and white this term, Thomas Partey has nevertheless been an important component in Mikel Arteta's side's march up the standings. Having largely shaken off his injury worries, the Ghanaian midfielder remains perhaps the only one in the squad capable of both shutting down the opposition whilst striding forwards in support of the attacking four. Keeping that contingent fit, especially Emile Smith-Rowe, will be vital to their top four aspirations.
Conor's a cheat Coad
The hosts will need all the creativity they can muster to once again get the better of the second meanest defence in the division. Bruno Lage's charges just about held off the challenge of Leicester City to remain in contention for a European spot of some description, and Connor Coady holds it all together in the middle. The ball-playing centre back will have his work cut out keeping a clean sheet, but it is this sort of occasion that could help him secure a position at the World Cup in November.
Betting tip
It promises to be another tight, low-scoring contest between the two teams, with very little separating them individually or collectively. Therefore, Casumo's odds of 3.85 for a draw seem surprisingly long.
