Arsenal have picked up 48 more points than Wolves this season
Noni Madueke has scored in back-to-back Premier League away games
Recommended bet: Noni Madueke anytime goalscorer
Top faces bottom in the Premier League on Wednesday as leaders Arsenal aim to move seven points clear at the top of the standings and push Wolves closer to the relegation trap door when they meet at Molineux.
Mikel Arteta has seen his side's lead at the summit dwindle following a run of just two wins in six top-flight games, but with nearest rivals Manchester City not in action this midweek, the Gunners can reassert their authority on the title race.
Wolves remain rooted to the bottom of the standings and look almost certain to be playing Championship football next season, but Rob Edwards' side have shown signs of life over recent weeks and they pushed Arsenal all the way in December's reverse meeting at the Emirates.

Team news
Edwards says he will make changes to the Wolves starting XI from the one that edged past Grimsby in a gruelling FA Cup tie on Sunday, but he would not be drawn on names.
Goalkeeper Jose Sa should come back into the team after missing the Blundell Park cup tie, but this game will come too soon for Toti Gomes (hamstring) and Hwang Hee-chan (calf).
Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori pulled out of Sunday's FA Cup win over Wigan during the warm up while fellow defender Ben White was substituted in the second half of that 4-0 win, but Arteta expects to have both players available on Wednesday.
The news is not so positive regarding captain Martin Odegaard (knee) and forward Kai Havertz (muscle) although both players could return for Sunday's north London derby against Tottenham.

The stats
Wolves have picked up just one win and five points from their 13 Premier League home matches this season, by far and away the worst record in the division.
After collecting only two points from their opening 18 matches, Wolves have improved, registering a win and four draws from their eight games since, as well as winning two FA Cup ties.
The Old Gold have lost nine matches in a row against Arsenal since claiming a 2-1 success at Molineux in February 2021.
Arsenal boast the Premier League's best away record, losing only two of their 13 road matches.
The Gunners have won 14 matches in a row against sides starting the day in the relegation zone, securing those successes by an aggregate score of 40-4.
The north Londoners edged past Wolves 2-1 in December's reverse fixture thanks to two own goals, the second of which was scored by Yerson Mosquera in the 94th minute.

Prediction
Arsenal made hard work of the reverse meeting between these sides and have not been at their best in the Premier League over recent weeks, but it is hard to see Wolves laying a glove on Arteta's men, as despite their own recent improvement, they have still taken just one point from their last four top-flight games.
An away win is unsurprisingly short odds, while it is also odds-on that the Gunners leave Molineux with both a victory and a clean-sheet, meaning it might be better to look elsewhere for decent value.
The anytime scorer market could provide just that, and Arsenal's Noni Madueke looks a prime contender to find the back of the net for the third match in a row after notching against Brentford in the league and Wigan in the cup.
The England international has three goals across his last five games and was substituted early against Wigan on Sunday, perhaps with an eye towards starting this game in the continued absence of Odegaard and Havertz.
Madueke also has positive memories of facing Wolves, with four of his 15 career goals in the Premier League coming against the Old Gold.
