Premier League leaders Arsenal are out to redeem themselves after a rare defeat when they welcome bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Emirates Stadium today. It’s a clash where the worst team in the league confronts the best, and the gulf in class between the two is expected to show.
But the unpredictability of the Premier League means this could well be anything but a stroll in the park for the Gunners, with a massive upset not unimaginable. Mikel Arteta’s men come into this match in a positive mood after they eased past Club Brugge 3-0 in midweek Champions League action.
That was a much-needed morale booster after their title hopes were dented away at Aston Villa last weekend, suffering a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat. It was The Gunners’ first loss in 18 games in all competitions, and they will be determined to bounce back and show that it was only a blip.
As far as Wolves are concerned, they will need to play out of their skin to cause an upset against Arteta’s charges, with anything less expected to end in disaster. Rob Edwards’ Wolves have been toothless this season so far, currently rock bottom with just two points, now 13 points from safety.
They are looking like hot favourites for the drop, fast running out of time to turn things around and avoid the dreaded drop down to the Championship. They were handed their ninth defeat of the season by Manchester United in their last league game, and with just two points from 15 matches, Edwards' team are currently on course to finish with the lowest tally by any club in Premier League history.
