The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Wolverhampton Wanderers lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview
Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently in 13th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Everton last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Gunners slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction
Arsenal have stuttered in recent weeks and have largely failed to show up at the business end of their campaign. The Gunners remain a work in progress and will be intent on proving their mettle this weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers can pack a punch on their day but have been inconsistent this season. Arsenal are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
