Nuno Espirito Santo's team head into the fixture on a eight-game winless run following a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace this past weekend, which has seen them fall to 14th on the league standings. 
 
In stark contrast, Arsenal are busy marching their way up to the league standings with a 0-0 draw at home to second-placed Manchester United having extended the Gunners' unbeaten run in the league to seven matches. 

"We have to try to improve every single day, I think we have to be humble every day to admit what you have to do to improve. I think the boss is doing a good job, the young boys are progressing a lot, they are fantastic," said Arsenal defender David Luiz, who is impressed by the club's improvement under manager Mikel Arteta in recent weeks. 

"I think we’re starting to create a real team, a real atmosphere. I think that’s why we keep going but football is like this, if you don’t continue the focus and the concentration, if you don’t work hard every single day, then things can change."

The Brazilian added: "I am very, very happy because we’ve turned around a very difficult moment in our season for a positive moment and we have to keep trying and keep going."

Goals from Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence either side of a Gabriel Magalhães strike led Wolves to a 2-1 win over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium earlier this season. 
 
The Gunners beat Wolves 2-0 at Molineux Stadium last season. Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette were on target for the visitors.
