Arsenal vs Wolves prediction
Having finished second on the Premier League table in the last two seasons, Arsenal will want to start on a high. The Gunners have scored against the Wolves in their last 33 fixtures and they will be expected to do so on Saturday as well.
The Wolves struggled to keep pace late in the preseason and may not prove a match for Arsenal's attacking prowess.
