ARSENAL will look to ensure they secure the win that would see them enter the World Cup break top of the Premier League table when they meet Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday night.
Mikel Arteta's men have made their best-ever start to a top-flight season, with only reigning champions Man City managing to keep pace with the in-form Gunners thus far.
Last time out, Arsenal earned a hard-fought 1-0 win at London rivals Chelsea, on an afternoon where two of our man Kevin Mac's three capital selections copped.
That Stamford Bridge showing further solidified the notion that Arsenal are here to stay in the Premier League title race and they will now look to sign off for the forthcoming pause by bagging another three points in the Black Country.
Since binning Bruno Lage there has been little sign of improvement for 19th-placed Wolves, with caretaker manager Steve Davis watching his side hit the self-destruct button in a 3-2 loss at home to Brighton last weekend.
However, the Molineux hierarchy have finally got their man following the recent appointment of Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard set to oversee his first game in charge of Wolves after the World Cup.
Outright Betting
Wolverhampton Wanderers have won just two of their last 21 Premier League matches and the bookmakers' believe that wretched run will continue here, with the hosts 5/1 (Bet 365) outsiders while the draw is an unfancied 16/5 (Bet 365).
After winning 11 of their opening 13 league games of the season, Arsenal arrive at Molineux as short-priced 11/20 (Bet 365) favourites.
Betting Angles
The aforementioned price about Arsenal winning this game is not an attractive one so I'm once again going to navigate towards the Bet Builder feature and throw together Arsenal to score, over two Arsenal corners and over one Wolves card at 4/5 (Bet 365).
Mikel Arteta's side remain the only team to have scored in each of their 13 Premier League matches this season, notching multiple times in a noteworthy nine of those outings.
This is a stark contrast when compared to opposing outfit Wolves who are the only team in the top-flight with a single figure goals scored tally this term, not to mention the Old Gold have posted just one clean sheet across their last eight league games.
I'm therefore more than happy to back the Gunners to strike on Saturday night and I'll also back the capital club to clock up at least three corners – a line the league leaders have covered in each of their 13 top-flight fixtures this term to date.
With table-topping Arsenal expected to dictate the tempo of the game, I'll also side with referee Stuart Attwell to show Wolves at least two cards during this contest.
The relegation-threatened hosts have averaged 2.43 cards per-home game this season and it's also worth pointing out they have picked up two bookings in seven of their last nine top-flight tussles.
One player who could be worth a small play to tackle his way into trouble is Wolves' Jonny who has been priced up at 5/1 with Bet 365 for a booking.
The Spanish full-back has been cautioned in each of his last two outings at Molineux so he could represent a spot of value to have name taken again here given the pace and flair that Arsenal possess in wide areas.
