Arsenal will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to four games in the English Premier League when they welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers at Emirates Stadium. Matchday is set for 34th February 2022 at 22:45 EAT.
The Gunners have managed back-to-back wins after beating Thursday’s visitors and then Brentford but prior to that they went five games without a win in all competitions and have scored just four goals during that period. In their last five matches they have picked up two wins, two loses and a draw across all competitions, both teams scored in only one of those matches.
Arsenal will be going for the third win in a row coming off 2-1 Premier League win over Brentford. In that game, Arsenal had 67% possession, 24 shots with eight of them on target and goals scored by Emile Smith Rowe (48′) and Bukayo Saka (79′). Brentford got six shots with two of them on target and a goal by Christian Nørgaard (93′).
In opposition, Wolverhampton Wanderers has been one of the better teams in the league this season. Under Manager Bruno Lage their run of games has been particularly brilliant since the middle of December. Having dropped just five points in their last eight league games, the club is now 7th in the league table, two points behind their opponents for Thursday.
Wolves get into this fixture confident following 2-1 Premier League victory to beat Leicester City. In that game, Wolverhampton Wanderers had 35% possession, 11 shots with three of them on target and goals scored by Rúben Neves (9′) and Daniel Podence (66′). Leicester City got 17 shots with seven of them on target and a goal by Ademola Lookman (41′).
