Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal visit Molineux stadium as the Gunners start a run of challenging fixture in the league as they take on fellow European contenders in Wolverhampton Wanderers tomorrow.
Both the clubs took three points in their most recent fixtures complemented by clean-sheets with Nuno ‘s side getting the better of Aston Villa in 1-0 win last weekend while Arsenal trashed Norwich City 4-0 in the midweek.
Only Liverpool (2) have lost fewer Premiership games this season than Wolves and it certainly will be a tricky tie for the firing Gunners.
Wolves have enjoyed three wins and three clean-sheets against West Ham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa post Premier League resumption and are placed only two points behind 4th placed Chelsea. Ofcourse, Arsenal represent Santos’ most challenging task since footballing activities resumed in England.
Meanwhile, Arsenal had a tough outing against Manchester City to mark league resumption but have finally started to string set of wins together as the Gunners recorded their 3rd consecutive victory in all competitions at the Emirates in the midweek.
