Arsenal have exhausted all margin for error in the Premier League title race, hoping to at least temporarily take the lead at the top of the table when they visit Wolves on Saturday.
The Gunners fell in the race last time out against Aston Villa, leaving them two points behind Manchester City. Then, like their three title-chasing team-mates, they were kicked out of Europe in midweek when they lost in the Champions League quarter-finals to Bayern Munich.
Now, with only the hotly contested league left, it’s all hands on deck with six games left. With City pausing to play in the FA Cup semi-finals this weekend, Arsenal can go top of the table with a win, even if they do not yet control their own destiny.
Wolves, meanwhile, sit 11th in the Premier League table, having slipped slightly amid a run of four consecutive games without a win. They suffered draws against relegation candidates Burnley and Nottingham Forest, as well as defeats to Aston Villa and West Ham in that stretch.

Like the other Premier League title contenders, Arsenal look exhausted as the 2023/24 season draws to a close. They are making unusual defensive errors on an increasingly regular basis and are unable to muster the same overwhelming attack they became known for during the exceptional run in February and March.
Fortunately, in this match they will face another English team whose traditionally solid defensive structure is cracking under the weight of a long season. José Sa has been sensational in goal for Wolves this year, but even he has not been able to prevent them from conceding goals in six consecutive league games, and Arsenal will have enough firepower to keep the pressure on Manchester City in the race. for the title, even if it’s closer than they would like.
