Wolves to hunt down Arsenal at the Emirates

Premier League
4.30pm Sunday

It's one of the more remarkable statistics in this season's Premier League that Arsenal have not led at the break in any top-flight fixture and a slow start against Wolves could be costly at the Emirates.

Those spread punters who fancy Arsenal to do their best work in the second half could sell their first-half supremacy at 0.4 with Sporting Index, although a better way of supporting Wanderers may come in buying the visitors' mini-performance at 14.

The market awards 15 points for the win, ten per goal, ten for a draw, five for a clean sheet and it's minus 15 for a red card, a negative impact which should always be factored into these cheap buys.

However, Wolves should travel to London in good spirits after performing well in the 3-2 loss to Tottenham last week. Helder Costa missed a sitter, Hugo Lloris had a stormer and an incorrect offside cost Nuno's men a point.

Wolves have already drawn with both Manchester clubs and control midfield through Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho to such an extent that they may just be able to keep enough possession away from Arsenal's strong attacking play.

Arsenal are obviously going the right way under Unai Emery, yet no team are overachieving more on expected goals and despite last week's excellent performance against Liverpool. the Merseysiders hit the woodwork twice in the first half of that 1-1 draw.

City are 1.45-1.65 favourites in the Manchester derby against United with goals trading at 3.2-3.4.
