With 12 matches to go Arsenal are four points clear of Manchester City and 2/11 to win the Premier League. That is still a good position to be in but the Gunners' failure to win last week's midweek match at Brentford means Pep Guardiola's team are closing in and have the momentum. They also have the experience after winning four of the last five title races.

Can Arsenal stay calm, get the job done and claim their first title for 22 years? They blew away a few cobwebs when walloping Wigan 4-0 in the FA Cup last weekend but this midweek trip to Molineux - brought forward due to Arsenal's participation in the Carabao Cup final - could tell us plenty about their title race mettle. Win the match and Mikel Arteta's team go seven points clear, having played a game more than their rivals. Drop points and City will have the opportunity to make up more ground in the race.

Eighteen points from safety and with Betfair no longer taking bets on Wolves' relegation chances, the Old Gold are already preparing for life in the Championship. A strong end to the season would boost belief that Rob Edwards can bring them straight back up.

However, they are without a victory in six, losing three and drawing three, although they did end a run of three consecutive defeats last time out at Nottingham Forest - a result which, ironically, did for Sean Dyche's Forest reign and saw Vitor Pereira, who was sacked by Wolves in November, ushered in at the City Ground.

Edwards has improved Wolves' defending but their attacking remains woeful. They have scored one goal in five Premier League matches and squeezed past fourth-tier Grimsby 1-0 in the Cup at the weekend. That situation was not helped by the sale of Jorgen Strand Larsen to Crystal Palace earlier this month.

Bet #1 - Back Arsenal to win to nil

The Stat

Arsenal have won nine of their 11 Premier League away games against Wolves (L2), their highest win rate against any side they've faced 10+ times on the road (82%). Wolves have failed to score in more different Premier League games than any other side this season (14), while Arsenal have kept more clean sheets than anyone else (13).

The Bet

Bet #2 - Back Madueke to extend scoring spree

The Stat

Arsenal's Noni Madueke - who has scored in his last two away league games - 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).

The Bet

Bet #3 - Back another narrow Arsenal win over Wolves

The Stat

Arsenal beat Wolves 2-1 in the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium in December. Prior to that, the Gunners won 1-0 at Molineux in January 2025. This means the last two fixtures between the sides have seen Arsenal win by exactly one goal.
