Wolves Vs Chelsea: The SportsRush brings you the head to head statistics between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal.
Arsenal tasted an unforeseen defeat against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday which saw their top four hopes hanging in the air. Unai Emery will desire to put his disappointments away by keeping the forthcoming game at Molineux against Wolverhampton Wanderers as a focal point.
On the other hand, Wolverhampton have been second to none against the top six sides at their home, losing just one game against Liverpool back in December. It has been a complete turn of events for Nuno Santo’s side who are struggling to pick up results against the lower division sides this campaign.
The hosts, who are currently eight in the Premier League table, are fighting for a spot in the Europa League next season. They are one spot away from Everton, thanks to the goal difference. The front two consisting of Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez have been menacing for the opponents, along with Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho in the middle of the park.
Arsenal will be with their important defender Sokratis, who has served a two-game ban. Shkodran Mustafi, who made a calamitous mistake against Crystal Palace to let Wilfried Zaha find the back of the net is expected to drop out to the bench at Molineux. The duo Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have started up front in recent times, but Unai Emery will head into this game with total precaution to not let his defence get exposed.
As both these sides face off, we shall look at the head-to-head statistics between these two sides.

Wolves were able to nick a point at Stamford Bridge and three points against Manchester United in the last five games, but lost to Burnley and Southampton in the process. They are a bogey side for the top six sides who always struggle to find a way against Nuno Santo’s side.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan wiped out an early lead from Ivan Cavaleiro in the reverse fixture to avoid a defeat in front of the home side. The Gunners have been really consistent over the last few weeks following the victory over Manchester United. They were then defeated by Everton and Crystal Palace.

We came close in November, but it’s been nearly forty years since Wolves grabbed the win against Arsenal.
Think you can name the squad who did it?
