Both sides come into the game with almost no major injury concerns and this has the billing to be a very hotly-contested affair.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on hot form, having scored a brace in his side’s 4-0 demolition of Norwich City FC. But Wolves talisman Raul Jimenez also cannot be written off and is expected to lead the Wolves attack.

Wolves vs Arsenal current form

Nuno Espirito’s side have picked up a commendable 13 points from the last 15 available, the only time they dropped points being a 0-0 draw against Brighton in March.

Arsenal on the other hand have lost twice in their last five matches.

Their last two games however have seen a turnaround in performance as the Gunners have scored six goals without conceding a single one.

Wolves vs Arsenal prediction

History has shown that this is a low scoring fixture and with the level of competition for the top four places, it is unlikely that this will change.

However, both teams have forwards in great form and this could potentially be an opening for both sides to get a goal at least. Despite Wolves exceptional run and home advantage, a draw could be a likely outcome.
