Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Arsenal in the Premier League today.
Wolves will have Julen Lopetegui in the dugout after this fixture, but Steve Davis remains in charge for this final top-flight game before the winter break for the World Cup. The former Sevilla boss will have his work cut out to salvage the campaign, with Wolves rock bottom ahead of kick-off and with clear issues in attack - they’ve scored just eight in 14 games so far.
At the other end of the table, the Gunners lead the way and can go five points clear if they win tonight, following Man City’s surprise defeat to Bournemouth earlier on. With Mikel Arteta’s side having conceded only 11 so far in their 13 games, they’ll be hopeful of extending the gap at the top and they already know they’ll be first until Boxing Day at the earliest.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal
The teams return for the second half, and here's hoping we see some goals in the next 45 minutes!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal
Jesus' goalscoring drought hasn't been broken in that first half, but the Brazil forward has shown why he's so important all across the pitch for Arsenal. He's held the ball up superbly well for the Gunners, winning six of his nine duels, with half of thesr coming in the air. He's completed every pass he's made in the final third, and has also won possession back three times, via a tackle, clearance and interception apiece. Active.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal
A goalless first half comes to an end, and it's not exactly been a match for the ages. The two sides have both played quite reserved football, and the defences are definitely on top at the moment. Arsenal have had the ball in the net, but only from Jesus in an offside position. With that goal not given, chances were few and far between, with neither Sa or Ramsdale forced into a serious save. The second half should see the game open up a bit more, with the cagey start to the match hopefully giving way to some goals!
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal
Jesus advances down the left for Arsenal and cuts inside towards the box, but he's stopped before he can get there as Boubacar Traore drags him down, and the Wolves midfielder is booked.

We'll play two minutes of added time to close out the first half.
