Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Arsenal are still top of the Premier League, but they will be desperate to go on another run to solidify their hold of that spot. The Gunners saw their 18-match unbeaten streak in all competitions end last weekend in a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, just their second defeat of the season.

Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke – who bagged a brace – scored belters to help Arsenal record a bounce-back 3-0 win away at Club Brugge in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Now, they will look to build momentum with another home win, which would make it four straight league victories at the Emirates.

Wolves fans would have little hope heading into this fixture, especially as they are yet to record a win after 15 league matches (2D, 13L). Only two teams have gone further into the PL campaign without a win.

The visitors’ latest setback was a 4-1 loss at home against Manchester United last Monday. With their last four league games on the road ending in losses without scoring, Wolves are set for another long trip to North London.
