Arteta believes that Wolves are difficult to beat and says they must find a more advantageous way of playing for the team


The Gunners Arsenal will go to Molineux to challenge Wolves in the 23rd round of the 2024/25 Premier League. Arsenal coach Arteta said at a press conference that Wolves are a difficult opponent to beat, so his team must find tactics and playing styles that are beneficial to them and restrain their opponents.


Arsenal currently ranks second in the standings with 44 points, 6 points behind the leader Liverpool. In the last round of the league, Arsenal tied Aston Villa 2-2 with goals from Martinelli and Havertz. But in the earlier Champions League, Arsenal defeated Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 with goals from Rice, Havertz and Odegaard, successfully laying the foundation for the players' confidence.


In addition, Wolves lost 1-3 to Chelsea in the last round of the league and ranked 17th in the standings with 16 points, so Vitor Pereira's team must get all 3 points to further stay away from the crisis of relegation.


Speaking of Wolves coach Vitor Perreira, Arteta said, "He has been coaching Wolves for a few weeks and we have a certain understanding of him. I was also very familiar with Vitor Perreira in the past. The club he coached before made me very clear about his coaching philosophy."


"His impact on Wolves has been clear and this game will be very difficult. His team is well organised, especially at home, and they are difficult to beat."


In terms of head-to-head record, Arsenal have won all of their last five matches against Wolves, including a 2-0 victory in the first round of this season.


Arteta also said, "Wolves' tactical structure and organization have changed. They have very clear goals on both offense and defense, as well as the roles of some key players in different stages of the game. Their current situation is also different, so every detail is important."


"They approach the game differently, no matter who they are or what the result is, and that speaks volumes about their intentions. So we have to quickly understand how they want to play and find ways to play in our favour."
