Arsenal take on a struggling Wolves side when Steve Davis will be in charge of his final game before handing the reigns over to Julen Lopetegui.
New manager Lopetegui will have plenty of time to analyse and fix glaring issues with the squad during the break.
Their midweek win over Leeds United in the EFL Cup will fill the team with confidence, but the Premier League leaders are a different animal this season.
Wolves’ major problems have come on the front line, as they are the lowest-scoring team in the division.
They have scored only 8 times this season. They are the second-weakest defence after conceding 30 goals.
The Gunners come into this game at the back of a rare defeat on home soil. Brighton thoroughly beat Mikel Arteta’s much-changed side in the EFL Cup third-round clash.
On the one hand, the manager had claimed Arsenal were serious about the competition, but an early exit could prove helpful in the title race.
Arsenal proved their title credentials after a comprehensive victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.
Arteta’s side have won 11 of their 13 fixtures this season and carries the best defensive record on the road, conceding only four times.
