Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 126
Arsenal wins: 66
Draws: 28
Wolves wins: 32
From 126 previous competitive bouts between Arsenal and Wolves, who first did battle back in 1904, the Gunners - as expected - dominate the wins counter with 66, prevailing in just over 50% of their games against the West Midlands side.
In contrast, Wolves have only achieved just under half of Arsenal's number of victories - 32 - while another 28 battles have ended level, but this head-to-head has been thoroughly dominated by the men in red and white over the past few years.
Indeed, Arsenal have done the double over Wolves in each of the last four full Premier League seasons, following up a 2-0 home success in August 2024 with a gritty 1-0 away win in January 2025, despite Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial sending-off.
Mikel Arteta's men also prevailed 2-1 on home soil and 2-0 at Molineux in the 2023-24 season, prior to which they rounded off the 2022-23 term with a 5-0 home crushing; Granit Xhaka scored twice on his farewell appearance.
Nuno Espirito Santo often had the Gunners' number, though, as Wolves won both of their top-flight clashes by a 2-1 scoreline in the 2020-21 season, although the victory at the Emirates was overshadowed by Raul Jimenez's sickening skull fracture.
Wolves' most recent win in this fixture in February 2021 was clouded in controversy too, as David Luiz and Bernd Leno were both sent off, the former for a perceived last-man foul on Willian Jose inside the area, despite replays showing that the Wolves man had clipped Luiz's knee.
Either way, Arsenal can almost always be backed to make the net bulge against Wolves, who have astonishingly gone 35 games without a clean sheet against the three-time Premier League winners, a streak stretching all the way back to 1979.
That sequence is both Arsenal's longest scoring run against a single team and Wolves' longest streak without a clean sheet against a particular opponent.
