Toti (Wolverhampton Wanderers) is shown a yellow card.

21:22
only the Bar! In the center, Saka revs up a lot so that he has space in the center and can place the ball on Jesus on the left. He dribbles into the penalty area, then buckles sharply and wants to circle the ball at a right angle. The ball bounces off the aluminum into the back goal net!
33
21:20
The corner kick and a subsequent flank only find the heads of the home side.
32
21:20
A further throw-in from the left should bring danger. Neves initially clears the corner.
29
21:17
Two of the referee’s decisions aroused the displeasure of the fans. If the spectators had their way, Stuart Atwell would have given two yellow cards. The official, however, lets play with a somewhat looser leash.
26
21:14
The Londoners prepare their opponents. The Wolves have to retreat further and further.
23
21:11
Zinchenko hits the ball from the left in front of the goal and finds Jesus again. He wants to extend the ball sensitively into the far corner, but nods the leather a good meter to the right!
22
21:10
Strong dribbling by Jesus, who slipped between two or three defenders only to be blocked by Kilman on completion.
20
21:08
Suddenly the Wolves switch again! Nélson Semedo starts on the right, drives the ball a few meters into the opponent’s half before playing the ball steeply into Guedes’ path. He closes with the second contact, but pulls the ball just over the goal!
19
21:06
The Gunners have 66 percent possession of the ball. They cannot draw capital from it yet.
16
21:04
Xhaka played along for over ten minutes before leaving the pitch. Something seems to have happened, which is why no great risk is being taken here with a view to the World Cup. Get well wishes go out.
16
21:03
Fábio Vieira comes on at Arsenal FC

21:03
Substitution at Arsenal FC: Granit Xhaka
15
21:02
The subsequent corner lands on Gabriel’s head. But Maximilian Kilman is close to him, which is why the header jumps quite clearly to the left!
14
21:02
Suddenly, a deflected cross from Saka flies straight into goal and almost sinks into the right angle! Sá stretches out his arms to clear the ball!
13.
21:01
Two corners bring the Wolves nothing. Nevertheless, they have played the game very evenly so far, contrary to what the table situation would suggest.
11.
20:59
José Sá picks up a ball that Gabriel Jesus is unable to control under pressure.
8th.
20:56
Suddenly things get dicey on the other side! Gonçalo Guedes runs away from the opponent and is then cleared by Saliba. The referee lets play continue, but Traoré’s follow-up shot is also blocked. Then the flag goes up again because Guedes was just too far ahead. Otherwise, a penalty is being discussed here because Saliba took a little too much risk in his duel!
6.
20:53
Suddenly the ball wriggles in the net! With a long ball, the Gunners find the incoming Gabriel Jesus, who takes the ball briefly and then sinks it flat on the bottom left! But then the flag goes up because he was a step offside. So it stays at 0:0.
5.
20:52
For now, Xhaka is actually returning. That’s good news.
4.
20:51
On the sidelines, Arteta hints that he will change. Hope this isn’t a bad thing.
3.
20:50
Granite Xhaka can be treated directly. An early failure would potentially be annoying not only for Arsenal, but also for the Swiss national team and, of course, bitter for Xhaka himself.
1.
20:48
The game starts a bit late because the prayer for the fallen of the First World War lasted a little longer. But you are welcome to take some time for this.
20:40
Together, the teams step out of the catacombs onto the lawn of the Emirates Stadium. It will not be long!
20:36
With Stuart Atwell, this game comes with a lot of experience. The 42-year-old will be assisted by linesmen Harry Lennard and Darren Cann.
20:28
There have already been 120 duels between Wolverhampton and Arsenal. In the end, the Gunners had the upper hand. The Londoners won 0-1 in Wolverhampton last season thanks to a goal by Gabriel. The second leg ended 2-1 at Emirates Stadium.
20:20
Steve Davis was more aware of the precarious situation in the league, which is why he also made frequent substitutions for the 1-0 win over Leeds United, but left a few regular players on the field. “Only” José Sá, Nélson Semedo, Toti, Hugo Bueno, Boubacar Traoré and João Moutinho are new to the team.
20:12
As already mentioned, there was a lot of rotation before the defeat against Brighton. Since no one could seriously recommend themselves at 1: 3, Mikel Arteta rotates back just as vigorously. Only William Saliba survived the big exchange, which flushed the stars around Aaron Ramsdale, Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus back into the first team.
20:02
Wolverhampton were able to beat Leeds United late in the League Cup, but they got over the defeat against Brighton last weekend. The defeat was part of the generally weak form, which brought only one win from the last eight league games. This puts the Wanderers in 19th place with just ten points. Just eight goals scored speak for the weakest offensive in the league and should cause problems, especially against Arsenal.
19:54
Arsenal are almost unbeatable this season. After 13 games, the Gunners are still at the top of the table with just one defeat, ahead of Manchester City. The recent defeat in the League Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion was all the more surprising. Of course, as usual, the Londoners rotated a lot in the cup, but the Seagulls also started with a few substitutes. Arsenal have to shake themselves up and refocus before the World Cup break.
19:51
Arsenal FC are looking to maintain their lead at Wolverhampton Wanderers ahead of the World Cup. It starts at 8:45 p.m. Warm welcome!
