Arsenal form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Emirates Stadium as Arsenal have scored 20 goals to get 26 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the Premier League are 8-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Arsenal last time playing, versus Brentford. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Saka and Rowe scoring for the victors.

Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

The visitors are W7-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Wolves's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Manchester City game.

Podence and Neves scored in Wolverhampton Wanderers's previous match, the home game against Leicester City that ended 2-1.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Tottenham Hotspur with the score of 2-0.

Wolves have another match away in just three sleeps, a Premier League match vs West Ham United. A gruelling timetable for the visiting team!

Wolverhampton Wanderers are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). It's not easy to score on Wolverhampton Wanderers as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The previous head to head match ended Wolverhampton Wanderers - Arsenal 0-1, earlier this season. Data for the last ten meetings between these two contenders are: four wins for Arsenal, three draws and three wins for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games. The matches between these sides have sometimes been ill-tempered, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
