English Premier League leaders Arsenal welcome struggling Wolves to the Emirates as they seek to maintain their lead atop the standings.

It’s literally a battle of the top versus the bottom, with Wolves still seeking a first win of the season after 15 games. With only two points to their name, it’s the worst start to a Premier League campaign as the future of the club confines to remain in question.

They face their toughest test yet when they travel to a high-flying Arsenal who lead the standings with 33 points.

Arsenal are desperate to bounce back after suffering their second defeat of the season, a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend.

Here we have a look at all key details of the game.

Prediction

This is expected to be an easy three points for the home team, based both on their current PL form and history between these two sides. Arsenal boast the best defense in the league, conceding just nine goals so far, and are expected to keep a clean sheet here as well.

Arsenal to win and an extra bet for them to win to nil is the best bet in this match.
