Arsenal will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium in a key match of the 16th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Manager Mikel Arteta stated in his press conference that his team must be fully engaged and in the game from the outset to secure the crucial three points.

In the 15th round of the Premier League, Arsenal equalized after falling behind thanks to a goal from Trossard, but were then breached in the final moments, ultimately losing 1-2 to Aston Villa away from home.

After suffering their second defeat, Arsenal remain in first place in the standings with 33 points, but only two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. This means that if Arsenal lose any points, their first-place position could be overtaken by Guardiola's team at any time.

As for Wolves, Rob Edwards' team is in 20th place with 2 points in the standings and is still in danger of relegation.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "In any Premier League match, especially against a team fighting for results, you have to be very vigilant. I know how difficult it is, and I know the Wolves manager very well; he will definitely motivate the players to try and pull off an upset."

"Therefore, from our perspective, we need to go all out from the start of the game, and we know very well what we have to do. If we want to win the league title, we may need to get more than 90 points, which means the team has to win a lot of games. Tomorrow, we have 3 points to fight for."

Furthermore, thanks to Maduk's brace and Martinelli's goal, Arsenal defeated Club Brugge 3-0 in the midweek Champions League match, and topped the standings with a six-game winning streak.

Arteta also said, "So far, we are in a very good position in the three competitions we are involved in, and that is exactly the state we need to maintain."

"The real recognition won't be given until the end of the season, when we'll be able to measure what we've really accomplished. But to achieve that, we have to keep moving towards our goals every single day. So far, I think we're in a very strong position."
