Bernd-Leno-Rui-Patricio-Arsenal-Wolves-goalkeeper

After a very exciting match up against Liverpool at the Emirates, Arsenal hosts Wolverhampton in their next EPL encounter to continue and push their quest for Champions League football next season.

On the 11th of November, this Sunday; the Gunners will be facing 11th placed Wolves as they look to get three points after drawing couple of games on the trot.

Wolves, as well, have not been in the best of forms especially in their last two games, losing to both Brighton and Spurs at home and away respectively, and they will look forward to regaining their winning run when they meet up the Gunners. But it won’t be easy for them at the Emirates especially with regards to scoring the Gunners. Many have spoken about the fragile nature of the defense of Arsenal but Bernd Leno who is the goalie of the Arsenal has been in good form and he won’t be easy to go past looking at the way he seems to want to take hold of the number 1 spot since Cech’s injury.

The German goalkeeper has been in a subtly fine form with some good saves here and there and  has been improving with his skills in the post especially with playing from the back. The team have mustered that tactical play and it looks as though Leno has done well with orchestrating the mastery.

Leno has so far conceded 5 goals in 5 appearances and made 12 saves in Arsenal’s 3 wins which he featured in. He has made just an error which has led to a goal since his debut in the EPL and has not lost any match in the EPL as a goalkeeper. But he will be coming up against  the striking force of  Raul Jimenez and Helder Costa of Wolves on Sunday and will he be able to stop them?

Arsenal will be looking forward to continue their unbeaten streak against Wolves and also score goals against Wolves on Sunday, but the striking force will have to beat Rui Patricio. The 30 year old Portugese Goalkeeper has been between the sticks for the visiting side and he’ll definitely feature again at the Emirates.

His experience in goal keeping can’t be doubted but will he be able to cool off the striking force of Lacazette and Aubameyang? Rui Patricio has featured in 11 games for his side and has kept 4 clean sheets in all, conceding 12 goals and committing no error leading to a goal and lost 4 games as a goal keeper in the Premier League.

On Sunday, both goalies will have the responsibility of either keeping their team’s unbeaten run or helping their team return to winning ways.
