Arsenal welcome Wolves to the Emirates Stadium this afternoon as Mikel Arteta & Co. kickstart a third offensive on Manchester City’s Premier League title.
The Gunners know a fast start is vital to putting pressure on the defending champions, who they play next month in what is a tough start to the 2024-25 campaign.
Riccardo Calafiori has arrived to bolster the defence of an Arsenal team which is prepared to try and reach the levels of perfection required to end their two-decade wait for a league title.

Wolves impressed many onlookers last term by putting together an unlikely challenge for Europe under Gary O’Neil before fading away rather dramatically in the final two months.
Money is relatively tight at Molineux these days and the pressure is on their existing squad and the small number of additions to fill the voids left by Max Kilman and Pedro Neto.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Arsenal vs Wolves is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off today, Saturday August 17, 2024.
The match will take place at Emirates Stadium.
