Key Tactics

Wolves, under Vitor Pereira, are expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation that shifts into a defensive 5-4-1 when out of possession. Arsenal will likely dominate possession and aim to exploit Wolves’ vulnerability in the opening minutes. Wolves have conceded nine goals in the first 15 minutes this season, making a fast start crucial for Arsenal.

Wolves’ Matheus Cunha remains their biggest threat, with 15 goal involvements in his last 18 home starts. Arsenal’s defense will need to be on high alert to contain his creativity and long-range strikes.

• Arsenal have won eight of their last 10 Premier League games at Molineux, keeping clean sheets in their last three visits.
• Leandro Trossard has the most Premier League assists against Wolves (6) in the competition’s history.
• Wolves have lost 18 of their last 20 games against teams in the league’s top two positions.
