0-2, 0-1! Gunners collapse on both lines + trapped in the devil's schedule, the Chinese-funded team becomes the judge, winning = reaching the top
For the Gunners Arsenal, the past week has been a collapse one, with the Gunners, who have been in high spirits all season, suffering a two-pronged blow, first losing to Aston Villa at home in the Premier League, giving up the initiative and top spot in the title race, and then losing to nemesis Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, missing out on the semi-finals, and the habitual April collapse has made Gunners fans feel helpless. At 2:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 21, in a match in the 34th round of the English Premier League, Arsenal will challenge Wolves away, which is a game that Arsenal must win, and if it loses, it will withdraw from the championship ranks.
Arsenal's next fixtures are the most dangerous of the top three, next Wednesday's 29th round of replay, Arsenal will face the Blues at home in the same city derby, followed by Sunday's 35th round, the north London derby, Arsenal will challenge the bitter enemy Tottenham Hotspur, and finally in the 37th round, Arsenal will go to Old Trafford to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United, these three strong conversations against the BIG6 giants are finals for Arsenal.
Wolves is a well-known Chinese-funded team in the Premier League, in July 2016, the Chinese consortium Fosun International wholly acquired Wolverhampton Rovers, the full name of Wolverhampton Wanderers for 45 million pounds, our Chinese fans are referred to as Wolves, since the promotion of the Premier League in the 2018/19 season, has successfully survived in the Premier League for 6 seasons, and this season has been successfully relegated ahead of schedule.
Wolves are a strong team killer this season, especially at home, Wolves have a better record, having beaten Manchester City, Chelsea, and away against Tottenham, Chelsea, and a draw with Aston Villa. Last season, Wolves defeated Chelsea, Tottenham and Liverpool at home, which shows how strong Wolves are at home. Wolves will face the top three in the following season, Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, and to a certain extent, it can be said that Wolves will be the judge of this season's Premier League title race.
Looking at the previous head-to-head record between Wolves and Arsenal, in the 2020/21 season, Wolves beat Arsenal home and away, but in the next five meetings, Wolves suffered five consecutive defeats against Arsenal, including a 1-2 defeat away in the first leg of this season. What is good for Wolves is that against Arsenal in this round, Wolves have a stable mentality, no pressure, and can easily play.
On the other hand, Arsenal has just experienced a high-intensity Champions League game, and lost and was eliminated, the morale and fitness of the players are at the lowest point, at this time to test Arteta's ability to adjust, a little careless, Arsenal will suffer three consecutive defeats, so as to plummet, because Arsenal has always had a tradition of collapse in April, and last season's title race with Manchester City was to lose points in April, thus losing the title.
Wolves are a team that is good at counter-attacking, the most feared is the fierce style of the team, the team that is pressing up front, and the least afraid is the passing team, the attacking combination of Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan and Saravia in the front court combined to score 24 goals and have 20 assists. Wolves have been winless in five consecutive games since their relegation success, and their form is average.
As the Premier League leaders Manchester City have the task of FA Cup semi-finals, the away match against Tottenham Hotspur has been postponed to May, which gives Arsenal the opportunity to successfully overcome the impact of the recent consecutive defeats and win all three points away from home, then Arsenal will re-ascend to the top of the Premier League and temporarily lead the title race.
