Wolves v Arsenal: Pick of the stats

Here are the key facts before Wolverhampton Wanderers host Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday (19:30 BST).

  • After completing the league double over Arsenal in 2020-21, Wolves have now lost their past five against the Gunners, failing to score in both home defeats in that run.

  • Arsenal have scored in their past 32 meetings with Wolves, their joint-longest scoring streak against an opponent.

  • Wolves have lost three of their past five home league games - more than they had in their previous 15 at Molineux.

  • The Gunners have kept a clean sheet in their past five away league games, their joint-longest such run (also five between February and April 1997). The last team to record a clean sheet in six consecutive Premier League away games was Liverpool between December and March in 2014-15.

  • Matheus Cunha has been involved in nine goals in his past nine Premier League games, scoring six and assisting three. His 11 goals this season is the fourth most by a Wolves player in a Premier League campaign after Raul Jimenez (17 in 2019-20, 13 in 2018-19) and Steven Fletcher (12 in 2011-12)

  • Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard has scored four goals in 16 substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, as many as he has in his 12 starts. He averages a goal every 218 minutes as a starter this term, compared with one every 86 minutes when coming off the bench.
