Wolverhampton vs Arsenal Match Preview
Arsenal travels to Wolverhampton on Saturday looking to retake the lead of the Premier League. They need to return to their early 2024 form after a difficult week.
Arsenal was knocked out of the UCL by Bayer Munich this Wednesday, ending all hopes of their maiden title. A 1-0 defeat in Germany caused a lot of regrets, especially from the first leg where they gave away two goals by mistakes of their own. Probably caused by the lack of experience in these types of situations and the end-of-season drop-off we also saw last year enhanced by double competition.
It is all about the Premier League now for Arteta’s side, but the slip against Aston Villa cost them a valuable lead to Manchester City who is now also out of the UCL leaving no English teams in the semi-finals. Arsenal cannot afford to leave any more points on the table if they want to have a chance to fight for the Premier League and it all starts on Saturday.
Wolves finds themselves in an unusual situation in the Premier League with six games to go. They are completely safe from the relegation battle, but a bit too far behind to fight for the last European spots. As a result, it will simply be a matter of a top half finish for Gary O’Neil’s side, something that they have not been able to accomplish since 2021/22.
Given their current run of five games without a win – including elimination to Championship side Coventry in the FA Cup quarterfinals – that looks unlikely. In four of those games, Wolves conceded at least twice, failing to keep a clean sheet either. However, facing a wounded Arsenal side could be perfect chance for Wolves to get back to winning ways.

Wolverhampton vs Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal win at 1.36
Last season, we saw Arsenal suffer one defeat and it all came crashing down. After that experience, they will expect to have learned the lesson and that they will not make the same mistake twice.
Wolverhampton should be an easy first step when we see the last five encounters ended in favour of the Gunners and they have scored against them in their last 19 consecutive games.
Wolverhampton vs Arsenal Tips
Over 2.5 Goals at 1.61
Arsenal has been the best team in the league away from home, with 33 points and the highest scoring with 37 goals in 16 games. Arteta will hope to get a big haul of goals to expand their goal difference advantage that can be crucial for the title.
