Wolves vs Arsenal Prediction
After an initial 'new manager bounce' in December which saw them collect seven points from a possible nine in Vitor Pereira's first three games in charge, Wolves have subsequently lost three on the bounce in the Premier League and, heading into the weekend, only escape the relegation zone on goal difference.
Pereira's side have conceded three goals in each of those three defeats, scoring just once in the process.
Despite some disappointing cup results of late, Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League games, although letting a two-goal lead slip against Aston Villa last weekend did not do their title ambitions any good.
Questions continue to be asked about the Gunners' lack of an orthodox striker, but Kai Havertz - on target against Villa as well in the Champions League on Wednesday - have proven effective at times this season. Against a Wolves outfit who are looking defensively shaky at the moment, a win and clean sheet for the visitors would not be a surprise.
