Arsenal Seven Points Clear Chance
Arsenal have a chance to go seven points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League if they secure a win against Wolves this week. Manager Mikel Arteta confirmed defenders Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are fit and could feature, while Wolves sit last, 18 points from safety.
- Arsenal's title challenge has faltered recently, with the team dropping points in four of their last six league matches, including a 1-1 draw with Brentford in their most recent league outing. - Historically, Arsenal has dominated this fixture, winning the last five encounters against Wolves and scoring in the last 17 consecutive meetings, a streak that goes back to 2011. - The statistical gap between the two teams is significant; Arsenal ranks 2nd in the Premier League for goals scored with 50, while Wolves are last with just 16. Defensively, Arsenal has conceded the fewest goals in the league (18), while Wolves have conceded 48. - While defenders Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori are available for the match, Arsenal will be without key midfielders Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, who are expected to return for the North London derby against Tottenham on the weekend. - Wolves have only secured one victory in the entire Premier League season so far, leaving them at the bottom of the table with just nine points from 26 games. - A victory for Arsenal would extend their lead over second-place Manchester City to seven points, a crucial buffer as the two teams are scheduled to face each other at City's Etihad Stadium in mid-April.
