Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Arsenal at the Molineux on Wednesday in another round of the 2025-26 Premier League campaign. Wednesday's fixture features two teams at opposite ends of the table, with Wolves bordering on a return to the second tier for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign, while Mikel Arteta's side are aiming to finally end their 22-year wait for another PL title.
Wolves had goalkeeper Jose Sa to thank for their sole point in a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest last time out in the league, with the Portuguese making eight saves to keep their opponents at bay. They then built on that result with a 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town in the FA Cup fouth round on Sunday.
Arsenal also had to settle for a point in their last Premier League outing, playing out a 1-1 draw with Brentford in a closely contested encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium. Like their hosts, the Gunners returned to winning ways in the cup at the weekend, cruising past Wigan Athletic with a routine 4-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite dropping points in an uninspiring display against the Bees, Mikel Arteta's side remain firmly in the driving seat in the title race, leading second-placed Manchester City by four points. However, they will recognize they have very little room for error with a trip to the Etihad still to come.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal Prediction
Winless in their last six league matches, Wolves face a near-insurmountable challenge when they host the league leaders this week and will primarily aim to avoid a blowout defeat.
The Gunners are overwhelming favorites heading into the midweek clash due to their much stronger form and overall superior squad quality. However, they will need to be wary of complacency to avoid a repeat of the reverse fixture, which saw them require a 94th-minute own goal to secure the points.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-3 Arsenal
