Tomorrow morning, wolves will host the 24th round of the Premier League, home to Arsenal.
Status of the two teams & head-to-head record
The Wolves are currently 8th with 34 points, three consecutive league wins, five unbeaten rounds, and Laje is also named the Premier League's Best Coach of the Month. But in the first game in February, the Wolves were eliminated after a 1-0 loss to Norwich in the FA Cup last weekend. Laje said of the best coach of the month curse that fans are talking about: "Everyone joked before the game that if they lost, they must have won the best spell of the month, but I don't believe in those, I only believe in the preparation plan. ”
Arsenal are currently 6th with 36 points, and after a five-game winning streak in December, Arsenal have not won five consecutive games in all competitions throughout January. During the offseason, Arsenal travelled to Dubai for a week-long overseas training session.
Last season, Wolves beat Arsenal twice at home and away, both games trailing 0-1 and eventually reversing 2-1, including at Arsenal's home, Jimenez suffered a skull fracture shortly after the start, and the game was suspended for nine months. In the 3 seasons back in the Premier League, the two sides have met 6 times, and the Wolves have the advantage of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The first leg of the season was originally scheduled for Christmas in December, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic on Wolves at the time, the match was postponed to late February.
Wolves lineup
Seth officially returned to the team on Monday after participating in the Africa Cup of Nations. Trincon, who was absent last weekend, lifted the COVID-19 quarantine, and Huang Xican, who was injured in December, also resumed the team's joint training.
Introducing wolves to the squad before the game, Laje said: "Seth, Trincon and Huang Xican have resumed practice together, we will see how they are on the day of the game, each of them is healthy and ready to enter the lineup. Huang Xican has already practiced with the team two or three times, and it feels good. Jonny trained with us for a whole week and felt good. Others need more time: Moskra and Boli have some practice with the team, but they also have to do recovery training with the physiotherapist; Neto has not yet participated in the team's joint training, he is still recovering, and needs more time, at least until the end of this month. ”
