Arsenal vs Wolverhampton prediction

Arsenal are still at the top of the Premier League with their streak of form. This week, the Gunners will host Wolverhampton (Wolves) at home. This is an opportunity for coach Mikel Arteta and his team to aim for another victory and maintain the gap with the chasing team Man City.

The London team is becoming more and more effective with a variety of attacking options. When Martin Odegaard is being marked by opponents, there are still explosive players ready to shine such as Martinelli, Saka, Jesus and even Kai Havertz.

Despite his struggles with adaptability, the German international still occasionally brings goals for Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Wolves are a special case in the Premier League. Although they do not have a strong squad, Wolves pursue an attractive style of play based on the technical qualities of their stars in attack.

Hwang Hee-chan, Matheus Cunha and Pedro Neto still prove their abilities and are ready for big transfers.

But Wolves don't have a good enough defense. They have conceded in 11 consecutive matches and have dropped points somewhat regrettably in this run. O'Neil's team have also had to endure some inaccurate refereeing decisions. However, 12th place and a 10-point gap above the relegation zone has greatly reduced the pressure on Dawson and his teammates.

Wolves are a team capable of surprising big opponents with their unique style of play. But Arsenal are in good form at the moment and it will not be easy to score points at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs Wolves lineup

Arsenal are still without Thomas Parter, Smith Rowe and Jurrien Timber due to long-term injuries. Fabio Vieira is also out injured but is serving a three-match suspension. Tomiyasu and Zinchenko left the pitch early in midweek but are not injured. David Raya is ready to return against Wolves.

On the other side, coach Gary O'Neil has to deal with many personnel problems. Rayan Ait-Nouri is injured and cannot play. Pedro Neto and Joe Hodge are definitely absent. In return, Wolves welcome the return of Bueno, Doherty, Otto and Dawson. Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha are also in the best physical condition.

Arsenal vs Wolves form

Arsenal just had a devastating 6-0 victory over Lens in the European Cup 1. Coach Mikel Arteta and his team are in impressive form with 4 recent victories in all competitions. In the Premier League alone, they won 4, drew 1 and lost 1 in the last 6 matches.

Wolves' form is not that good. They only focus on one tournament, the Premier League, but they have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2. However, Wolves are just an average team in the foggy country and this result is not too bad.
