Can Promising Mateus Mane Inspire Wolves To Surprise Win Over Arsenal?
Wolves have only won a single match in their 26 games in the 2025/26 Premier League campaign, which itself entails how they need a miracle to be able to defeat this dominant Arsenal side. They will not only have to be extremely sturdy defensively against the Gunners, but need to be brave on the front foot to be able to get a famous win to revitalise a late charge to save themselves from relegation.
Wolves will be reliant on their promising youngster Mateus Mane, who has four goal contributions (two goals, two assists) so far in the campaign. Mane provided two goal contributions in their only win of the campaign, and he’ll need to replicate a similarly thrilling performance against Arsenal.
Mane will look to use his clever off-the-ball movement to get into the open spaces in the final third and then be efficient with his final third passes and shooting to be able to get a big win for his side.
Struggling Bukayo Saka Determined To Regain Momentum Against Wolves
Bukayo Saka has come under heavy criticism in recent weeks for failing to make a major difference for Arsenal, with the Englishman struggling to get a goal contribution in his last four Premier League appearances. Saka made a good impact in a central role for Arsenal in their recent 4-0 thrashing of Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, and he might persist with that role against Wolves.
Saka will be looking to be smart with his link-up play and more clear-cut with his final third passes to help create bigger chances for his side. The Englishman will also look to get the ball in more goal-scoring positions in the final third to be able to end his goal drought and earn a commanding win for his side.
