Arsenal’s supporters turned on club captain Granit Xhaka last week amid a tense 2-2 home draw with Crystal Palace.

Wolves visit Arsenal this weekend and visiting centre-back Conor Coady is hoping his team can use the atmosphere to their advantage.

Coady is hoping Wolves can begin well and make it difficult for Arsenal.

He told the Wolves’ club website that they need to make the Arsenal crowd anxious, which will in turn have an impact on the Gunners’ team.

Coady said: “You get it at a lot of Premier League clubs, you know that if you go there and manage the game right, control the game the way you want to control it, that teams will get frustrated and the supporters as well.

“They want entertainment. They want to see their team push on, move forward, score goals, entertain and have the ball, so it’s up to us to try and control the atmosphere.”

Wolves rested a number of first team players in midweek in the Carabao Cup as they prepared for the trip to Arsenal, while the Gunners left out key players from their cup tie too.

Arsenal’s draw at home last week has them in fifth place, just four points ahead of 12th placed Wolves, who could cut the gap to just one point with an away victory.
