Premier League LIVE: Wolves vs Arsenal – updates, preview, team news, stats & head-to-head
Since completing the double against Arsenal in 2020-21, Wolves have now lost each of their last nine against the Gunners in the Premier League.
Arsenal have won nine of their 11 Premier League away games against Wolves (L2), their highest win rate against a team they have faced more than 10 times on the road (82%).
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 36 meetings with Wolves in all competitions. In the history of competitive English football, only Wrexham have had a longer goal streak against an opponent (49 against Darlington between 1929 and 1961).
Both of Arsenal’s goals in their 2-1 win over Wolves in the reverse fixture were own goals. Only three teams have benefited from three own goals against an opponent in a single Premier League campaign: Charlton v Sunderland in 2002-03, Arsenal v Southampton in 2012-13 and Southampton v Sunderland in 2014-15.
Arsenal have won their last 14 Premier League matches against teams from the relegation zone by an aggregate score of 40-4. This is the longest winning streak against teams ranked in the bottom three (or bottom four in 1994-95) in the history of the competition.
Arsenal have won all eight of their matches played on a Wednesday in all competitions this season. The last time a Premier League team had a better win rate of 100% on a specific day during a season was at Man City in 2020-21 (won 15/15 on Wednesday).
Wolves have lost 16 of their 20 Premier League matches against teams starting the day at the top of the table (3 wins, 1 draw), beating Man Utd in January 2004 and February 2011, and Manchester City in September 2023. Both of those wins against Man Utd came when they were bottom of the table, however.
Wolves have lost 10 of their 13 home Premier League games this season (W1, D2), with only Southampton last season reaching 10 home defeats in fewer games (12). Wolves have only lost more home games in a single top-flight season twice before – 11 in 1964-65 and 13 in 2011-12.
Wolves have failed to score in more Premier League games than any other team this season (14), while Arsenal have kept more clean sheets than anyone else (13).
Arsenal’s Noni Madueke – who has scored in his last two away league matches – has scored more Premier League goals against Wolves than any other opponent, with his four goals against them accounting for 27% of his total in the competition (4/15).
