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
Moutinho looks to move forward on the counter for Wolves, but he's dragged back by Odegaard. The Arsenal midfielder is penalised, but not booked, in a decision which the home fans aren't exactly happy with.

Bueno does well to dispossess Odegaard as the Arsenal captain tries to create crossing space, and the young Wolves wing-back also frustrates White after the England defender fails to win a corner.

Arsenal have scored in each of their last 29 meetings with Wolves in all competitions since a 1-0 loss back in February 1979. Only against West Bromwich Albion (32) are the Gunners currently on a longer scoring streak in all competitions.

WIDE!! White's cross from the right is aimed towards Martinelli, but a good Semedo header takes the ball away from him. Zinchenko crosses the ball back into the box, where Jesus' glancing header flashes just wide!

As well as having the fewest goals (eight) and lowest shot conversion rate (4.8 per cent) in the league this season, Wolves have had fewer different goalscorers than any other side, with just four. Neves has netted half of their eight goals so far this term.

OVER!!! After Martinelli slips over, Wolves race down the right on the counter and it's played forward to Guedes. He surges towards the box before pulling the trigger, and sends a decent effort inches over the bar!

Semedo looks to find Adama Traore with a long ball behind the defence, but the Wolves forward doesn't time his run and would've been offside if he'd collected it.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal
Arsenal are the only side to have scored in every Premier League game this season, while they've also got the joint-fewest goals conceded and joint-most clean sheets so far, with 11 and six respectively. The Gunners are looking to win three consecutive league games without conceding for the first time since July 2020.
