Arsenal currently lead the way at the top of the Premier League ahead of Man City, Liverpool and Aston Villa. Victory over Wolves will see them remain on top of the ladder and extend their winning run to three Premier League matches. Wolves are down in 12th position and they will be hoping for more consistency from the match officials after manager Gary O'Neil was left frustrated in their last match against Fulham.
Arsenal were in the title race for a long time last season, and Mikel Arteta will be hoping his team do not fall at the final hurdle this time around. The Gunners have tasted defeat just once in the Premier League and that was in controversial circumstances away at Newcastle United.
Since that defeat, Arsenal have won two matches on the spin. The Gunners are still not at full-strength with England international Emile Smith-Rowe out with a knee injury and Thomas Partey still sidelined with a muscle problem. Fabio Viera will miss the game through suspension. Declan Rice, Gabriel Jesus and Bakayo Saka were all taken off as precautions in their Champions League game against Lens to ensure they are fully fit for Saturday.
Wolves boss O'Neil has revealed he has lost all patience with VAR after his side conceded two penalties in their 3-2 away defeat at Fulham on Monday. The second penalty they conceded handed all three points to the Cottagers with Willian slotting home in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Wolves have injury and suspension concerns of their own. Republic of Ireland U21 international Joseph Hodge is out with a shoulder problem, while Pedro Neto is still struggling with a hamstring issue. Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes are both suspended.
These two have met plenty of times over the years. In 105 matches in all competitions, Arsenal have won 50, Wolves have won 28 and there has been 27 draws. The Gunners have won their last four Premier League matches against Wolves. Their last meeting took place on the final day of last season with Granit Xhaka scoring twice, while Bakayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Jakub Kiwor all found the back of the net in a 5-0 win. Wolves have won two of their last six encounters. Their last victory at the Emirates Stadium was in November 2020 with Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence both scoring in a 2-1 win.

Arsenal are clear favourites to win this game at 2/7. They are top of the league and have not lost at home all season - so why wouldn't they be clear favourites? Wolves can be backed at 10/1 to claim a surprise win and shake up the Premier League title race, while the draw is on offer at 9/2.
Arsenal are a force to be reckoned with this season. If they can keep their nerve towards the back end of the campaign, they could be crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 20 years. Mikel Arteta has some quality at his disposal with Declan Rice, Bakayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli.
This side would be worthy champions, if they can keep their composure when it matters. Arsenal have gone back to basics when it comes to performances and results. They have won six games to nil this season, so back them to make it number seven and remain ahead of champions Man City at the top of the ladder.
