Wolves vs Arsenal

At 18 years and 121 days, Myles Lewis-Skelly became the youngest Arsenal player to be sent off in a Premier League match. He was also the third youngest to receive a red card in the competition overall after Wayne Rooney vs Birmingham in 2002 (17y 63d) and Michael Owen vs Man Utd in 1998 (18y 117d).

Arsenal are the only team in Premier League history to have won (38) more games than they’ve lost (35) when having a player sent off.

Wolves have lost 21 of their 28 Premier League games in which they’ve had a player sent off, the highest loss rate of any side to have had a red card in 25+ games (75%).

Since doing the double over Arsenal in the 2020-21 campaign, Wolves have now lost each of their last seven against the Gunners in the Premier League.

Arsenal have won eight of their 10 Premier League away games against Wolves (L2), their highest win rate against any side they’ve faced more than five times on the road in the competition.

Arsenal have scored in each of their last 34 meetings with Wolves in all competitions, since a 1-0 home loss in February 1979. It’s both the Gunners’ longest scoring streak against an opponent, and Wolves’ longest run without a clean sheet against a side in their respective histories.

Wolves have lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League games against sides in the top two of the table, with the exceptions being back-to-back 2-1 victories in 2023 against Manchester City (September) and Tottenham Hotspur (November).

Wolves have lost all three of their Premier League games in 2025, conceding three goals in each defeat. On just two occasions have they lost each of their first four league games in a calendar year, with their fourth match on both previous occasions coming against Arsenal (1906 and 1982).
