After losing each of their first four Premier League games against Arsenal at Molineux, Wolves have won two of their last three (L1), winning 3-1 in 2018-19 and 2-1 last season.
Arsenal are looking to avoid losing back-to-back away league matches against Wolves for the first time since February 1975, following their 2-1 defeat last season.
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 27 games against Wolves in all competitions, since a 1-0 home loss in February 1979. It’s the Gunners’ second-longest current scoring streak against a specific opponent, after a 32-game ongoing run against West Bromwich Albion.
Following victories in their first three league matches in 2022 against Man Utd, Southampton and Brentford, Wolves are looking to win four consecutive top-flight matches for the first time since January 1972.
Wolves have won their first three Premier League games in 2022, last winning their opening four top-flight matches in a year back in 1938, going on to finish runners-up by a point behind Arsenal at the end of that season.
Arsenal have failed to score in each of their last four games in all competitions; they’ve not gone five without a goal since March 1990 under George Graham.
Although they’ve only netted one goal in their last two league games, both at the Emirates, Arsenal ended 2021 with nine goals across two away games, a 4-1 win over Leeds and 5-0 victory at Norwich. The Gunners last scored four or more times in three consecutive away league games between April and September 1930 (four in a row).
Premier League matches involving Wolves have seen the fewest shots of any side so far this season (462); Wolves had 10+ shots in their first five matches this season (82 in total, 16.4 per game) but have only reached double figures for shots in four of their 16 games since, averaging exactly half their shots per game ratio of those first five games (131 in total, 8.2 per game).
In their last Premier League game against Brentford, João Moutinho became the oldest player to score and assist in a Premier League match for Wolves (35 years, 136 days), with Alex Rae the previous oldest (34y 99d vs Blackburn in 2004). Moutinho has two goals in his last three league games, as many as in his previous 121 appearances combined.
Emile Smith Rowe has scored in his last three away Premier League appearances for Arsenal, scoring against Man Utd, Leeds and Norwich. The last Gunners player to score in four in a row away from home was Olivier Giroud in November 2015.
