Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Arsenal vs Wolves in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Arsenal vs Wolves
• Date: Saturday, 13 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Emirates Stadium

Arsenal are coming into this match with a mixed bag of results, showing resilience with wins and draws against strong opposition. Their predicted 4-3-3 formation should give them the edge in midfield control, with Odegaard and Rice likely to dictate the tempo. Up front, Saka and Merino could exploit Wolves' defensive frailties, especially given their recent run of losses.

Wolves, it has to be said, have struggled to find form, losing their last five matches. Their 3-4-2-1 setup might offer some defensive solidity, but their attacking options seem limited. Larsen will be crucial for any chance of an upset, but Arsenal's superior form and home advantage should see them through

Arsenal's recent form has been a rollercoaster, with a loss to Aston Villa away from home, but they've shown resilience with a win against Brentford at home and a draw against Chelsea away. Their ability to bounce back from setbacks, as seen in their victory over Tottenham, suggests a team with confidence and momentum. This should give them a strong foundation going into the match against Wolves.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Aston Villa (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Brentford (H)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Chelsea (A)

• Win: 4-1 vs Tottenham (H)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Sunderland (A)

Wolves are in dire need of a turnaround, having lost their last five matches, including heavy defeats to Manchester United and Chelsea. Their home form has been particularly poor, with losses to Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace. This string of losses indicates a team low on confidence and struggling to find their footing, which could make their upcoming match against Arsenal a challenging one.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-4 vs Manchester United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Nottingham Forest (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Aston Villa (A)
• Loss: 0-2 vs Crystal Palace (H)
• Loss: 0-3 vs Chelsea (A)

The head-to-head record between Arsenal and Wolves shows a clear dominance by Arsenal, with victories in their last five encounters. The most recent match saw Arsenal win 1-0 away at Wolves, while their home form against Wolves has been particularly strong, with a 2-0 win in August 2024 and a 5-0 thrashing in May 2023. This pattern suggests Arsenal have the upper hand in this fixture, making it a tough challenge for Wolves to break their losing streak.

• Predicted lineup: Raya (GK), White (DF), Timber (DF), Hincapie (DF), Calafiori (if fit) (DF), Odegaard (MF), Zubimendi (MF), Rice (MF), Saka (AT), Merino (AT), Eze (AT)

Arsenal's predicted 4-3-3 formation should allow them to dominate possession and control the game's tempo. With Odegaard, Zubimendi, and Rice in midfield, they have the creativity and defensive solidity to break down Wolves' defence and create scoring opportunities for Saka, Merino, and Eze.

• Predicted lineup: Johnstone (GK), Mosquera (DF), Toti (DF), Agbadou (DF), Hoever (MF), Krejčí (MF), André (MF), Wolfe (MF), Bellegarde (MF), Arias (MF), Larsen (AT)

Wolves are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, aiming to provide defensive stability while allowing their wide midfielders to push forward. Larsen will be the focal point of their attack, supported by Arias and Bellegarde, but they'll need to be more clinical in front of goal to challenge Arsenal's defence.

• Eberechi Eze vs Ki-Jana Hoever: Eze's pace and movement could pose a significant threat to Hoever's attempts to keep him quiet.

• Martin Odegaard vs Ladislav Krejčí: Odegaard's creativity and vision will be tested against Krejčí's tenacity in midfield.

• Declan Rice (Arsenal): Rice's ability to dominate all areas of the midfield will be crucial for Arsenal's overall performance.

• André (Wolves): His precise passing and intelligent positioning will be vital for Wolves to have any chance of an upset.
