you sound as if you have not seen in premier league were underrated team like wolves end up winning big team. So you must speak with so much certainty as if there is no chance of wolves winning Arsenal. Sometimes the unbelievable usually happens. However, I won't deny the fact that Arsenal Stand a big chance of winning this match considering there standing in the league table and that of wolves.

But man we all can't deny the fact here. Wolves are a huge mess this season. There is an enormous difference between their performance last season and now...

They finished last season at a bad position as well but at least they were able to get wins and score easier. Now they are completely finished.

Therefore it would be the surprise of the year in this league if a strong team like Arsenal lose points at Emirates against them.

[Humblevirus]

They will win, they have to win, and they must win. They have no excuse whatsoever not to win that match. Not for team like wolves who is the worst team in the EPL this season. Anything other than a win for them will prove the fact that they are not worthy of the trophy, because if you must be a champion, you must win expected matches, and they are matches like this

Honestly, we have seen many times where the worse teams in the Premier League were able to beat the strongest teams, so it is very possible for any team to beat any other team. So, it is possible for Wolves to beat Arsenal, but the fact is that the chances of Wolves beating Arsenal are very low based on their current performances. However, that does not guarantee that Arsenal have a 100% chance to win the match.What I always want people to understand is that any team is entitled to make mistakes, and if that is the case, there is a probability for any team to beat another. Even in this upcoming game, I will not be very surprised if Wolves are able to beat Arsenal, because I believe that anything can happen in football.

Arenal are very confident to win this game, and wolves don't have that capacity to be able to defeat us and it they can lose there last game to an opponent that is not stable then winning us should not even be in there not book because we are fully ready for them, and we need the point to give another margin to Manchester city, arsenal should not take any game for granted and this is why they are taking everything seriously, and there effort is actually appreciated.

And it is very much possible but from what is happening now i have full assurance that arsenal will not lose to wolves when they know what is at stake, so losing will only implicate them better so they need and no matter what anyone thinks will happen i have full confidence in arsenal in this game, i don't know why i have full confidence about, about arsenal winning the premier league this season, there is not different about what is currently happening.

So far, Liverpool has been undefeated in the last 4 matches. It's something we don't think about considering how bad they played on November. The good news is that Salah has come back after sulking, Arni Slot has spoken privately with him, and Mohammed Salah has accepted the situation then willing to play enthusiastically when meet Brighton today. We hope the squad returns to playing aggressively like before, and don't get overly emotional between players because Brighton will take advantage of this bad situation.

Well, as a game of football I believe anything can happen in any game,at least this season has taught me that. This game might be the turn around game for the team,only if they have truly worked on their lapses and put their best in their remaining games, the aggressiveness can return

I don't really know why this match between Arsenal and Wolves is bugging some of you off, this is indeed a straight winning for Arsenal be it in the dream of reality Arsenal is winning this game straight up, just like you've said if they are to prove themselves to lift the English premier League title they must win the expected matches, and the last time I checked Wolves is nothing to worry about for Arsenal, Arsenal should be thinking of more challenging games ahead of them not a game like wolves game, at least they have Manchester City at their back which is not really good for them, so they should be thinking of that not a walkover match from Wolves.

One of the interesting matches of the weekend is Chelsea - Everton.

Firstly 1.73 is the odds for Chelsea to be the winner. Are you surprised? Honestly I'm not.    Because it's already not an easy match for them. Everton are clearly in a better form in the league recently. More points collected and the gap between is only 1 point.

I guess Palmer will be in the lineup. This is good news in theory. But will he start performing like in the past shortly after recovering? I doubt it for now. If he makes difference then Chelsea are more likely to win. But I doubt their defense in Caicedo's absence...

And what is very likely to happen is that Liverpool has the opportunity to earn 3 points, bringing their total points to 26. Brighton is a strong team that cannot be underestimated. A win would restore the confidence of the squad, which has recently seemed unwilling to work hard for Arne Slot.

In the Premier League, we haven't been as good as before, and many assume that the current Liverpool squad seems to dislike Arne Slot, but in my opinion, that's not the actual situation. Slot arrived and helped us celebrate at the end of the season in his debut campaign. That fact reinforces the idea that Slot isn't the reason behind the players' performance so far.

[AYOBA]

Not a strong team like Arsenal. If care is not taken Wolves will concede more than three goals in this match. Arsenal needs this win because their top spot is at risk currently. Therefore, they will play the match with all seriousness and determination to get all three points.

This upcoming match tonight between Arsenal and wolves I’m expected the match to be a easy match for Arsenal to win because I’m not that satisfied with Wolves performances this season, this is the reason why i don’t expect anything better from them. As we all know how good arsenal are good this season there’s not a strong team like them; i have confidence that they will do everything possible to win the match so that they can have peace of mind in the top spot.

Wolves has been a shadow of themselves since the beginning of this season, I doubt they will be able to stop Arsenal from winning the game because they lack the quality and experience.

I also thought as much i don’t think wolves will able to stop Arsenal from winning this match. Base on how I saw Arsenal last performances in the champions league it’s prove that Arteta have make a good decision by implementing the right move for them; that will lead them to achieve their goals this season.

So, it is possible for Wolves to beat Arsenal, but the fact is that the chances of Wolves beating Arsenal are very low based on their current performances.

No way Arsenal has a 100% chance of winning against wolves, but the nature of the club is prone and vulnerable to most premier league clubs. I had similar reactions when they matched Man U, and got defeated too well, wolves isn't meant to take a lead on Arsenal in no way. The gunners won't let them a chance like Man U did, wolves should be considered a bonus 3 point for gunners.

Point of correction mate, the fact that they equalised against Manchester United after Bruno scored the opening goal doesn't mean that Manchester United let them a chance, Wolves are a weak side fighting for survival in the league this season and you don't expect them not to try create chances that would help them do better. Moreover Manchester United went on to score 3 goals afterwards, anyways Arsenal being the best team so far won't allow Wolves to use them and recover their form.

Yes Liverpool did have an unpredictable performance at the beginning of the season in all competitions, after the end of last seasons campaign where they where crowned champions of England and also considered favorite to win this current seasons English premier league but where written off because of there inability to win games even after there squad reenforcement in the last concluded transfer window but later surprised all by winning there last four consecutive games with an impressive performance which know one believed could be possible.

Mohammad salah  may have been convinced by some enticing words to play but his future at Liverpool that is what can never be guaranteed for now.

Mohamed Salah was called for this match with Brighton that can be his last match for Liverpool as after this one, he will join the African Nations Cup. During that tournament in Africa continent, the winter transfer season opens and it's less likely Mohamed Salah will change his mind and continue his career with Liverpool. Salah will play with his best if he considers this match is the last one for Liverpool but only Salah knows what he wants after this match and what he want to contribute for Liverpool in this match.

Without Mohamed Salah, Liverpool got a very important win in UEFA Champions League and even with a lot of pressure from recent bad results, Liverpool supported Slot and Salah was not called for that match. With latest situation in Liverpool, I really don't imagine that Liverpool, Slot and Salah will continue with each other after January 2026.

[Alex077]

It will be a close battle between Chelsea and Everton, but looking at the win probability, we understand that Chelsea has a higher chance of winning. From what I saw, Chelsea held Arsenal off in an unimaginable manner and their draw there was crucial. But since then I have always noticed that this team has lost its way, because  they lost 3-1 against Leeds United and lost to Atalanta in a tournament match like the UEFA Champions League this weekend.

These English representatives completely surrendered against the Italian club and were helpless but they may still have to turn things around against Everton, otherwise they will start to get displaced from this match.

Chelsea have been in a bit of a slump recently . Chelsea are winless in their last four matches in all competitions and dropping points in the domestic league has also reduced their chances of winning the title, which has also hurt their consistency. However  Chelsea are still considered favourites against Everton in the sportsbooks at around 1.7 odds. Historically Chelsea have dominated Everton at Stamford Bridge quite well ,, even going so far as to say they have a long unbeaten run against Everton at home.

I think this match could be quite close  and Evertons recent form and momentum are a bit of a plus. However if Chelsea can stop their recent slump  then they have a good chance of winning at home. It all depends on their ability to fix their defensive flaws and capitalise on opportunities

Mohammed Salah return to the squad is good news for supporters. However, whether he will be an immediate starter remains a question for supporters, given Salah heated feud with Arne Slot. I think Salah's return to the squad doesn't automatically mean he'll be a starter, and I'm sure Arne Slot will field the same lineup as against Inter Milan. Supporters will also hope the positive streak of results from the last four matches can continue against Brighton, especially with Liverpool playing at home.

Firstly 1.73 is the odds for Chelsea to be the winner. Are you surprised? Honestly I'm not.    Because it's already not an easy match for them. Everton are clearly in a better form in the league recently. More points collected and the gap between is only 1 point.

I guess Palmer will be in the lineup. This is good news in theory. But will he start performing like in the past shortly after recovering? I doubt it for now. If he makes difference then Chelsea are more likely to win. But I doubt their defense in Caicedo's absence...

We shouldn't be surprise base on the previous performance of Chelsea. They're not heading anywhere with this poor form. Enzo Maresca have alot of task to fill at Stamford Bridge. Today is another matchday for the Blues and we're hoping they can get back on track and this time, they wouldn't be settling for lesser outcome. On the other hand, Everton have been nothing but a good team this season and how they're coping with the fierce atmosphere when It comes to big clubs.

Well one thing is very certain about This fixture, entertainment. This match have always bring us lot of drama, excitement, and lot of goals. For me I think this is going to be a match Chelsea will win, they are very desperate to get a win. With Enzo maresca winning the November manager of the month I think the boys just have to turn up for him at Stamford bridge today. I have seen it severally when bookmakers gives chelsea such odd and they went on to deliver, as for me I am gambling on Chelsea to beat Everton in this game.

Chelsea have had a rough couples of games this early December and winning today in front of the blue army will be a huge boost for them in the chase for a champions league spot for next season. I anticipate this match, and I hope my gamble comes through.

Mohammed Salah return to the squad is good news for supporters. However, whether he will be an immediate starter remains a question for supporters, given Salah heated feud with Arne Slot. I think Salah's return to the squad doesn't automatically mean he'll be a starter, and I'm sure Arne Slot will field the same lineup as against Inter Milan. Supporters will also hope the positive streak of results from the last four matches can continue against Brighton, especially with Liverpool playing at home.

I think reducing dependence on Mo Salah is a good idea. If the slot is intended for that, then Slot really has to be brave enough to take the risk. The performance might be a bit poor, it needs adaptation, and that should actually be done because Salah is getting older. He is already 33 years old, so there is a possibility that Liverpool will start thinking about selling Salah before his contract ends. Brighton is not an easy opponent, they have good gameplay. Liverpool must be careful.

They will win, they have to win, and they must win. They have no excuse whatsoever not to win that match. Not for team like wolves who is the worst team in the EPL this season. Anything other than a win for them will prove the fact that they are not worthy of the trophy, because if you must be a champion, you must win expected matches, and they are matches like this

you sound as if you have not seen in premier league were underrated team like wolves end up winning big team. So you must speak with so much certainty as if there is no chance of wolves winning Arsenal. Sometimes the unbelievable usually happens. However, I won't deny the fact that Arsenal Stand a big chance of winning this match considering there standing in the league table and that of wolves.

Sometimes we see some miracles in football. We have even seen the underdog team win against the hot favorite team. But it is very rare.

Wolves are a team that has not won a single match this season. They are at the last position in the points table. It is also almost certain that the team will not be able to qualify for the Premier League next season. There is no possibility of Arsenal losing points against such a weak team unless a miracle happens. I certainly hope Arsenal will not make any mistakes in this match. We will all probably bet on Arsenal to win. Arsenal will not disappoint us.

[Pandu Geddon]

There might be a high-scoring game in that match. Wolves have had a tough season, having been beaten by United with 4 goals, as well as Chelsea who won 3-0, and Man City with 4 goals. Facing Arsenal, who are now at the top of the table, will certainly be a tough match for Wolves. At least, there might be 3 goals in that game. It could also be more.

Arsenal's performance lately is something else. The games they played against Chelsea and Aston Villa were impressive; I expected Arsenal to win those matches because of how solid they have been in their performances. I don't know how the game against Wolves will go if the result is just like the recent games.

However, I still have hope that Arsenal has a better chance of winning based on Wolves' performance. I believe that since Arsenal missed opportunities to increase their points, their meeting with Wolves will be a good chance to gain ground in the Premier League.

It would be a big surprise if Arsenal loses or draws against Wolves. This is a match where a top-of-the-table team faces a team at the bottom of the table. Although anything can happen on the field, I do not expect a major upset in this match. A win will be very important for Arsenal to maintain the point gap with Man City.

Like I said earlier, this is a game that'll be difficult for both sides to win. Chelsea's inconsistency this season have given room for clubs like Everton to play them away and still have that belief that things might go their way. If you're a heavy gambler, the best option to go is that both teams will score. Everton currently has a team that's strong enough to beat any club in the English Premier League and playing against a Chelsea side without in form defensive midfielder Caicedo, stopping Everton from scoring at Stamford bridge this afternoon will be very difficult.
Come Palmer like you rightly mentioned is back to the Chelsea set up and is very likely to start but what we're not sure will happen os if he'll play at his peak today. Should that happen, then Everton will have to play the whole games sitting at the tip of their nerves.
