(SabaSports) Arsenal cruised to their first win of the 2024-25 Premier League season as Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz crossed to beat Wolves 2-0 at home in the opening round of the campaign. Although Arsenal finished second to Manchester City in the Premier League in each of the past two seasons, form and results have improved significantly under manager Mikel Arteta. With a growing squad, Arsenal are in position to compete for the Premier League title.
Since returning to the Premier League, Wolves have been hovering in the middle of the table for many times, not only getting rid of the title of “lift”, but also often playing wonderful performances against strong teams. However, the loss of Pedro Neto and Max Kilman in succession during the summer transfer window has dealt a blow to the strength of the squad.
In this game, Arteta continued his familiar 4-2-3-1 formation. The defence was lined up with Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Thomas Partey, Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard form the heart of the midfield. Saca, Gabriel Martinelli and Haftz form the attacking pair, while David Raya is the keeper.
