Arsenal vs Wolves Prediction: Saka to strike in routine win?

Top meets bottom in Saturday's late Premier League kick-off (20:00 GMT, live on TNT Sports 1) as Arsenal welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners got back to winning ways against Club Brugge midweek, after their 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa last weekend, while the visitors' wait for their first Premier League win of the season was extended on Monday night as they lost to Manchester United. Read on for my Arsenal vs Wolves predictions, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Riccardo Calafiori is suspended for Saturday's game after accumulating too many yellow cards, while Max Dowman, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes and Leandro Trossard will all miss out here due to injury.

Declan Rice, William Saliba and Jurrien Timber face fitness tests prior to kick-off but Victor Gyokeres is expected to lead the line.

As for Wolves, Joao Gomes is back from suspension but Jean-Ricner Bellegarde could be sidelined after the midfielder was forced off in the defeat to United.

Rodrigo Gomes, Marshall Munetsi, Leon Chiwone and Daniel Bentley all remain in the treatment room.

Arsenal vs Wolves Odds

Understandably, the Gunners are massive favourites for Saturday's contest at 1/8, giving them an implied win probability of 88.9%, the draw is 15/2 and a Wolves win can be backed at 25/1.

Both teams to score is 2/1, while Gyokeres currently tops the anytime goalscorer market at 5/6.

Arsenal to win to nil @ 1/2

As mentioned above, the Gunners are heavily favoured for Saturday's contest, which isn't surprising at all given Wolves' disastrous start to the season.

The visitors will take some positives from their 4-1 defeat to Manchester United, if that's possible, but the fact they've only taken a couple of points from 13 games will have alarm bells ringing at Molineux.

Wolves have only scored once in seven away games this term, and should be readily outclassed by the league leaders here. In addition, the hosts have won five of their last six matches against Wolves to nil, making it an attractive bet on Saturday evening.

Bukayo Saka to score first @ 4/1

With Arsenal being massive favourites for this game, it is difficult to find value. So, I've opted for Bukayo Saka to score first at the Emirates.

Saka is one of the Gunners' many attacking threats, and the England international has been in decent form for the hosts in recent weeks.

The 24-year-old has set up goals against Bayern Munich and Chelsea, as well as scoring the clincher against Brentford in their last home league game. He also scored in this fixture last season, so let's back him to break the deadlock at 4/1.
