It is first against last in the Premier League as Arsenal travel to Molineux on Wednesday night. You’d be forgiven for thinking this will finish 5-0 to the visitors on paper, and hopeful Wolves fans will forgive us for thinking it will probably finish 5-0 to the visitors on the pitch.
The Gunners sit four points clear at the top of the table and remain firmly in control of the title race, despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford last time out.
Mikel Arteta’s side have lost just once in their last 11 league matches and continue to post the strongest defensive numbers in the division.
Arsenal have conceded only 18 goals this season, allowed the fewest shots in the league, and boast the lowest expected goals against figure. That structure has underpinned their consistency against struggling sides.
In fact, the Gunners have won their last 14 matches against teams currently in the relegation zone, conceding just four goals across that run.
Wolves, meanwhile, sit bottom of the table and are 18 points from safety. Relegation appears inevitable, even if performances have improved slightly in recent weeks.
They have scored just 16 league goals all season and no player has managed more than two. Against the division’s best defence, clear chances may again be limited.
Arsenal won the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium and have taken each of the last nine Premier League meetings between the sides.
What are the best picks for Wolves vs Arsenal?
Back Arsenal to win to nil
The league leaders dominate struggling opponents. Their defensive numbers are elite, and Wolves have failed to score in 14 of their 26 league matches.
Arsenal have also kept four clean sheets in their last five games in all competitions. When facing teams in the bottom six, they rarely allow momentum swings.
Viktor Gyokeres anytime goalscorer
Gyokeres has eight league goals this season, five of which have come against teams currently in the bottom six.
He remains Arsenal’s focal point in the final third and should see opportunities against a Wolves defence that has conceded 48 times.
