The superstar returns, Arsenal has the strongest squad to fight Chelsea

Arsenal secured a much-needed win over Wolves to take them back to the top of the Premier League table . Previously, they experienced two consecutive losses against Aston Villa and Bayern Munich, but were able to come back strongly with an impressive performance at Molineux Stadium.

Despite concerns about fatigue, Arteta only made three changes to the starting lineup against Wolves, with Jakub Kiwi replacing Takehiro Tomiyasu – who was injured in the match against Bayern.

Fortunately, the Japanese defender only suffered a minor injury, he will still be healthy enough to participate in the compensation match of round 29 of the 2023/2024 English Premier League taking place this week. 

Arsenal has been lucky with recent injuries, with Jurrien Timber being the only player in the treatment room, but the good news that many Gooners have been waiting for has finally arrived.
