After being only 2 points behind Manchester City in the 2023-2024 Premier League championship race, Arsenal knows that they need to warm up immediately. Last season, they won 7/10 first rounds (drawn 3), so if they want to end two decades of winning the Premier League trophy, they need to have a similar or better start.
The Gunners, who finished runners-up in the last two campaigns, strengthened their squad this summer by signing Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna, while goalkeeper David Raya, on loan from Brentofrd, was converted to a contract. official contract.
With more new recruits likely, fans will be optimistic that they can finally get their hands on the trophy. Arsenal will also be buoyed by a series of largely positive pre-season friendlies, which ended with a 2-0 win over Lyon last weekend.
It was a match in which coach Mikel Arteta said his team played at the "highest level" and won the Emirates Cup for the eighth time.
The North London club will hope to continue that form against Wolves, who stunned fans by selling Pedro Neto to Chelsea. His departure can be compensated for by Jorgen Strand Larsen on loan from Celta Vigo, and Rodrigo Gomes, the 22-year-old Portuguese player who scored in friendly matches against West Ham and RB Leipzig.
Manager Gary O'Neil will be keen to see that scoring form continue, especially as his team saw their quest for European qualification plummet last season - only won 1/10 matches at the end of the season (draw 2, lose 7).
Wolves have only won at Arsenal once since 1979 (drawn 4, lost 10), and even that victory in 2020 took place behind closed doors during the COVID-19 pandemic.
