Wolves vs Arsenal Matchday Stats Preview

After completing the league double against Arsenal in 2020-21, Wolves have now lost each of their last five against the Gunners, failing to score in both home defeats in that run.

Arsenal have scored in their last 32 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, their joint-longest scoring streak against an opponent in the club’s history (also a current run of 32 vs West Bromwich Albion).

Wolves are winless in their last four Premier League games (D2 L2), though they have won their last two at Molineux against sides starting the day in the top two of the table, beating Man City 2-1 in September and Spurs by the same score in November.

Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in each of their last five away league games, their joint-longest such run in the club’s history (also five between February and April 1997). The last team to record a clean sheet in six consecutive Premier League away games were Liverpool, between December and March in 2014-15.

Arsenal lost a Premier League game for the first time in 2024 against Aston Villa last time out. Since the start of last season, only twice have the Gunners suffered consecutive league defeats, doing so in May 2023 (v Brighton and Nottingham Forest) and December this season (v West Ham and Fulham).

Arsenal have conceded just two goals in the first half of their 12 Premier League games so far in 2024. Both of these strikes came in the 45th minute and made the game 1-1 (vs Liverpool and Brentford), with the Gunners eventually going on to win both times.

Wolves have lost three of their last five Premier League home games (W2), more than they had in their previous 15 at Molineux (W9 D4 L2).

Matheus Cunha has been involved in nine goals in his last nine Premier League games, scoring six and assisting three. His 11 goals overall this season is the fourth most by a Wolves player in a single Premier League campaign after Raúl Jiménez (17 in 2019-20, 13 in 2018-19) and Steven Fletcher (12 in 2011-12).

Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard has scored four goals in 16 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, as many as he has in his 12 starts. He averages a goal every 218 minutes as a starter this term, compared to one every 86 minutes when coming off the bench.

Bukayo Saka has been involved in eight goals in his last seven Premier League away games, scoring seven and assisting one. His 13 away goal involvements overall this term (8 goals, 5 assists) is the most by an Arsenal player in a single Premier League campaign since Alexis Sánchez’s 20 in 2016-17.
