The Premier League is back in action with another set of important fixtures this week as Arsenal take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have been fairly inconsistent this season and have a point to prove going into this game.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have largely failed to meet expectations this season and will have to be at their best to win this fixture. Wolves are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have managed only 23 points from their 21 league games.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have shown significant improvement under Mikel Arteta this season but do have a few issues to solve in the coming weeks. The Gunners played out a 0-0 stalemate against Manchester United over the weekend and will look to return to winning ways on Tuesday
