If Arsenal fail to beat my lot tomorrow it will quite possibly be the most embarrassing result in the history of the universe.
The Wolves injury crisis is beyond ridiculous .
I should have predicted Arsenal to win 27-0 with a joker .
In his press conference Gary O'Neil said 8 Wolves players were unavailable, which isn't much more than the current Premier League average of 6.7 players out.
There are 7 clubs with more injured players than Wolves right now, including Newcastle who are missing 5 midfielders and Man Utd who are missing 6 defenders.

Point taken but none of those clubs have lost almost all their best players.
It isn't exclusively a numbers game, it's a case not just of how many players are lost to injury but which ones are lost at one time.
Anyway Arsenal should win comfortably.

Not only that, squad strength/depth is a key factor. Wolves can ill afford to miss those kind of numbers from their starting XI, whereas Man City, Arsenal & a few others have less drop-off in terms of class. You could make a very good case for a Man City 2nd XI comfortably beating the Wolves 1st XI.
