Top versus bottom
Wolves have lost 16 of their 20 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table beating Man Utd in January 2004 and February 2011, and Manchester City in September 2023.
Those two wins against Man Utd came while they were bottom of the table, however.

Not another own goal?
Both of Arsenal’s goals in their 2-1 win against Wolves in the reverse fixture were own goals.
Only three sides have benefitted from three own goals against an opponent in a single Premier League campaign – Charlton against Sunderland in 2002-03, Arsenal against Southampton in 2012-13 and Southampton against Sunderland in 2014-15.

Bukayo Saka signs new five-year deal with Arsenal
Bukayo Saka has signed a new five-year contract with Arsenal keeping him at the club until 2031 as the 24-year-old commits his future to the Gunners.
Saka’s previous deal had been due to run out at the end of next season in June 2027 but the club decided to strike early with a new deal understanding that interest in Saka, from within England and across Europe, was high and that the winger preferred to remain at the Emirates Stadium.
