Wolves vs Arsenal Preview

• Competition: Premier League.
• Date: Saturday, January 25.
• Time: 3:00 PM GMT.
• Venue: Molineux Stadium.

Wolves vs Arsenal will take place at the Molineux Stadium in the Premier League in the middle kick-off slot on January 25 in-game week 23 of matches in the ongoing season.

The hosts will enter this game in 17^th place with 16 points from their 22 matches so far, with a GD of -19. They have fallen to defeats in three of their last five matches, winning one and drawing one. Currently level on points with the team below them in the drop zone, Wolves will need to secure a few wins soon. They have scored five and conceded 12 in their last five, with a 3-1 defeat at Chelsea being their last outing. They will look to perform better.

The visitors, on the other hand, are second in the table with 44 points from 22 matches. However, they have stumbled in recent weeks, securing two draws in their last five matches across competitions, also falling to two defeats, and managing just one win. They scored six goals and conceded seven in this run. The Gunner squandered a two-goal cushion to draw 2-2 in their last match against Aston Villa and will look to avoid a repeat of the same.

On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out from both camps.

Wolves Team News

Manager Vitor Pereira fielded a strong lineup in his team’s last match and they performed reasonably well in the first half, before falling apart in the second. The positive for the squad is that there were no new injuries or suspensions picked up from that game.

However, they will be without five players for their next match. Boubacar Traore (knee), Enso Gonzalez (cruciate ligament), Sasa Kalajdzic (cruciate ligament), Toti Gomes (hamstring) and Yerson Mosquera (knee) will all miss out as they continue to recover.

Arsenal Team News

Manager Mikel Arteta fielded a strong lineup with the players at his disposal in the last match. They played reasonably well for 60 minutes but lost the plot after that, but had no injuries or suspensions.

However, they will still be without five players for the next match. Benjamin White (knee), Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Gabriel Jesus (cruciate ligament), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and William Saliba (hamstring) will all miss out as they continue to recover.

Wolves vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Record

These two sides have met very often in the last few seasons. However, things have been dire for Wolves in recent meetings against Arsenal, as they have had no luck. The Gunners have won each of their last five meetings against their rivals.

Key Players to Watch

Matheus Cunha (Wolves)

The Brazilian has been the leading contributor for his club so far this season with 10 goals and four assists. His goals have come from an astoundingly low 4.63 xG, and he will look to keep converting his chances in the same manner. He has completed six of 20 take-ons in his last five matches, and also attempted six shots on target from 17 attempts.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)

The German is the Gunners’ second top scorer behind the injured Saka and has racked up eight goals and two assists so far in the Premier League. His goals have come from 8.41 xG, meaning he can do way better and score more goals if he is more efficient. He has attempted six shots on target from 11 attempts in his last five matches and also made five blocks.

Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction

Recent head-to-head leaves nothing for Wolves to look forward to as Arsenal have been dominant. However, playing at home, they will bring some confidence into this match even if they do not end up winning it.

Prediction: Wolves 1-3 Arsenal
