18 min: Wolves finally venture into Arsenal’s box, but there’s no danger to report.

16 min: After a couple of headers, the ball drops for Ødegaard to hit from the edge of the box … but the Wolves men around him do enough to halt any danger of a screamer. Arsenal are getting in the shots but lacking the venom.

15 min: Saka has the ball on the right, he cuts in … and plays it to Rice on the edge, who passes to Trossard in the box. The left winger retreats back to the central midfielder, who fires a low shot. No bother for Sá, who collects with comfort.

13 min: Wolves have a sustained period on the ball, and so it becomes Arsenal’s turn to hassle away.

10 min: Trossard does well to take on Doherty on the left and get a cross in … Saka’s header is safely collected by Sá.

9 min: Saka is forced back after Toti presses on to him, with Arsenal forced to make a move from the other wing. Wolves are holding a neat defensive shape.

7 min: Arsenal get a hold of it and work things nicely around the back before Trossard’s through ball to Jesus turns wonky.

4 min: Jesus lines up a shot from the edge of the box after a neat one-two with Havertz … but he scuffs it well wide. Paul – see below – has just taken a sip.

3 min: “Super worried,” writes Paul. “Arsenal gotta finish. otherwise i may finish a bottle of whisky.” It’s been three minutes, Paul.

2 min: Toti crunches into Saka, the Wolves man making himself known out on Arsenal’s right-hand side.

1 min: Arsenal are straight on it; Kiwior crosses in from the left, it’s deflected and Havertz hooks a shot at goal. Sá is up to the task.

Peep!

Oh, Wolves have a 15-year-old on the bench: Wesley Okoduwa. Born in May 2008, says Transfermarkt. Yes, you may feel old.

Wolves, by the way, have Hwang Hee-chan starting in the league for the first time since a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in February. He’s got 10 Prem goals this season and will have to help out young Tawanda Chirewa, making his first league start since … well, ever. Best wishes to the 20-year-old.

Takehiro Tomiyasu picked up a knock against Bayern, Mikel Arteta tells Sky. The Arsenal manager sounds pretty relaxed; despite back-to-back losses, victory tonight will take them to the top of the league. So, you know, they’re not exactly in freefall … yet.

There has, I must report, been a goal at Wembley.
