The Gunners have been impressive this season. With 12 wins and only 2 defeats, they are in the second place. So, they have been formidable in away matches.
Arsenal is having a challenging season. They want these points to advance in their run. So, it is quite impeccable to say that this match is going to be one-sided. Their visit to Molineux will be another way for them.
Though their recent form has been inconsistent. Their last 5 games perfectly showed it. One win, two draws and two defeats. It should be Arteta’s duty to turn this match to their favor otherwise there will be problem.
Arteta wants to return to their winning ways. They want to take these easy points and stay on their path.
Meanwhile, Wolves are in a deep trouble. They are battling relegation in the Premier League. They are sitting in the 17th place.
Their recent performances have been better than their first matches. They are similar to Arsenal’s recent games. But for them, it is an improvement. However, their recent loss 3-0 to Newcastle United highlighted their ongoing struggles.
So, this might not be a good day for the Wanderers. But still, they have potential, after scoring almost 31 goals this season. Manager Vitor Pereira faces an uphill battle to put belief in his squad and devise a tactical approach that can trouble the in-form Arsenal side.
The Portuguese coach will need to address the Wolves’ defense. After having conceded 48 goals in 21 league games, it is eminent that they will have to heavily rely on parking the bus.

Analyzing the scenario of the matchup, the match will probably end 4-1 for Arsenal as their away record is promising.
AUTHOR’S OPINION
So, it seems one-sided. Arsenal with their good record, seems to make sure to maintain their stature. However, the Wolves will try to tie and secure a point and put a brake on Arsenal’s dominant form. The Gunners’ dominant head-to-head record and away victories are enough for their easy win.
However, this is the Arsenal we are talking about. Their last 5 matches have not been consistent. So, they will have to try a little bit, including their injuries. But, the Wanderers should not be underestimated. Arsenal has lost 2 matches away, so any small mistake and crucial misses can cost points for the Gunners.
