Premier League LIVE: Wolves vs Arsenal – updates, preview, team news, stats & head-to-head
  • Since doing the double over 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 any side they’ve faced 10+ times on the road (82%).

  • Arsenal have scored in each of their last 36 meetings with Wolves in all competitions. In competitive English football history, only Wrexham have had a longer scoring streak against an opponent (49 vs Darlington between 1929 and 1961).

  • Both of Arsenal’s goals in their 2-1 win against Wolves in the reverse fixture were own goals. Only three sides have benefitted from three own goals against an opponent in a single Premier League campaign – Charlton against Sunderland in 2002-03, Arsenal against Southampton in 2012-13 and Southampton against Sunderland in 2014-15.

  • Arsenal have won their last 14 Premier League matches against teams in the relegation zone by an aggregate score of 40-4. It’s the longest winning run against sides in the bottom three (or bottom four in 1994-95) in the competition’s history.

  • Arsenal have won all eight of their games played on a Wednesday in all competitions this season. The last time a Premier League team had a better 100% win rate on a specific day over the course of a season was Man City in 2020-21 (won 15/15 on Wednesdays).

  • Wolves have lost 16 of their 20 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table (W3 D1), beating Man Utd in January 2004 and February 2011, and Manchester City in September 2023. Those two wins against Man Utd came while they were bottom of the table, however.

  • Wolves have lost 10 of their 13 Premier League home games this season (W1 D2), with only Southampton last season reaching 10 home losses 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 different Premier League games than any other side 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 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).
