Gunners and Wolves have no more claims in the last English round and meet the table
Next Sunday, at 12:30 (Brasilia time), Arsenal will receive Wolverhampton at the Emirates Stadium for the 38th round of the Premier League. Mikel Arteta’s Gunners lost strength in the final stretch of the season and finished far from the coveted title, which would have closed a fast of almost two decades, stopping in second place. Julen Lopetegui’s Wolves spent a good part of 2022-23 flirting with the fall, but have finally managed to shake it off and are not at risk of relegation.
DROP IN INTENSITY
Arsenal had suffered a series of defeats in the early part of the season, but Arteta’s young side were unable to pick up the pace and ended up falling behind in the contest. Manchester City have already been crowned champions early and the London team have no more chances to win the title. However, the season was not lost – the team got the place to compete in the Champions League again. To close 2022-23 on a high note, the team focuses on history: in 121 games against Wolves, there are 61 wins, 28 draws and 32 defeats, including three triumphs in the last three matches.
FUNDAMENTAL FACTOR
The Wolverhampton team, in turn, struggled throughout the season and was even in the relegation zone. However, in a Premier League which will have at least eight teams under 45 points, victories would be key to survival. And so it happened in favor of the Wolves, counting on the home factor. Playing for Molineux has been Julen Lopetegui’s trump card in his quest to remain in the elite. Of the last 15 points played at home, the team managed to win 13. The Lobos’ last victory over Arsenal came in 2021, when Rúben Neves and João Moutinho scored in triumph for 2-1.
