STREAM WOLVES - ARSENAL LIVE
Nuno Espirito Santo and his Wolves side have admitted they are in a ‘really bad place’ after they have now secured just one win in their last 10 games. They did beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season, but that game also marked the moment which has changed their entire campaign: the skull fracture to Raul Jimenez which has ruled him out ever since.
Jimenez is pushing forward with his recover and hopes to return before the end of the season, and Wolves miss him badly as the entire balance of their team has been thrown out of line.
As for Arsenal, they are surging after five wins in their last seven games and they are unbeaten in that stretch. Mikel Arteta has moved on several senior players during the January transfer window and all of a sudden the Gunners are pushing for the top four. A month ago they looked to be in a relegation scrap.
