Arsenal host Wolverhampton Wanderers this evening and both teams will look to pick up their fifth Premier League victory of 2020-21. You can watch this and other Arsenal games live online.
The Gunners have lost four games and drawn once out of nine matches, while Wolves have suffered three losses and drawn twice, and a fierce clash should be expected as they battle for three points at The Emirates.
Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at Leeds United last weekend after their 3-0 home loss at the hands of Aston Villa, and Mikel Arteta’s men will be keen to quickly return to winning ways in the league.
Wolves were also held to a draw by Southampton last time out after heading into the international break on the back of a defeat to Leicester City, and they will fancy their chances of leaving North London with a result tonight given their quality and Arsenal’s recent struggles in front of goal in the Premier League.
