Out of their previous 120 opening league games, Arsenal have won 56, drawn 23, and lost 41. The Gunners will be keen to add to their win tally, especially considering they have never won the league title after losing on the opening day.

As a result, Mikel Arteta will be eager for his side to start the season strongly by securing a convincing victory over Wolves.
