Wolverhampton come into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on the weekend. With the score 0-0 at half time, it was Crystal Palace who made the breakthrough on the hour and Wolves could not muster a response in the 30 minutes that remained.
That result means Wolves have won only one of their last 5 games in all competitions and just 2 of their 10 matches. Both victories have come in the FA Cup and that means Wolves have failed to win any of their last 8 games in the Premier League. There have been 5 defeats and 3 draws, with one of the draws and two defeats coming at home.
Trends show Wolves have failed to win any of their 3 most recent home Premier League matches, with a draw against Tottenham Hotspur and defeats by West Bromwich Albion and Everton.
Both teams have scored in each of Wolves’ last 4 Premier League matches at home and there has been over 2.5 goals in 3 of those 4 games.
Arsenal make the trip to Molineux Stadium having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Manchester United on Saturday. Neither team really deserved to win the game but Arsenal did hit the crossbar from a free-kick, which was the closest both teams came to scoring a goal.
That result means Arsenal are undefeated in 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions. The Gunners are undefeated in their last 7 Premier League games, picking up victories at home against Newcastle United and Chelsea plus away at Brighton, West Bromwich Albion, and Southampton.
Away form in the Premier League shows Arsenal have won each of their last 3 fixtures. Arsenal have scored at least one goal in each of their last 4 away Premier League games, including 7 goals in their 2 most recent fixtures on the road.
Trends show Arsenal have scored 1 or more goals in their 13 most recent clashes with Wolves in all competitions.
Team news and Wolverhampton Wanderers will be without Rayan Ait Nouri, Fernando Marcal, Raul Jimenez , and Jonny who are injured. There is a doubt over the fitness of Romain Saiss.
Arsenal travel with doubts over the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney, Daniel Ceballos, and Pablo Mari Villar. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is dealing with a personal issue and may miss the match.
This could be a closely fought contest but we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. However, Arsenal are the team in form and we expect to see The Gunners come away with maximum points.
