Match Preview
It was another close call for the Gunners in the Premier League last term, as they were the closest finishers to Man City in the standings. However, sooner or later, the Gunners will need to take that next step in the competition, and end their wait for a first top-flight title in over 20 years. Their young squad could be more battle hardened to make another bold bid this season.
Arsenal set a number of records during the previous season, which included their highest-scoring campaign since the 1952-53 season. Further improvement is likely from their third-youngest side in Premier League history after enjoying their best defensive record for 20 seasons. However, it is worth mentioning that last term, they ended with their highest points tally in history.

In truth, Wolves defied expectations in the Premier League last term, as they were widely expected to struggle at the bottom of the standings after parting company with Julen Lopetegui just days before the start of the campaign. However, Gary O’Neil did an excellent job of steadying the ship at Molineux, as Wolves eventually finished 14th in the standings.
The West Midlands club have once again been proactive in the transfer market, announcing the official signing of Tommy Doyle, with other signings including Pedro Lima and Rodrigo Gomes. However, they will need to improve again this season, despite losing proven Premier League talents in the forms of Max Kilman and Pedro Neto.
