With the festive fixture schedule imminent, the games come thick and fast for Arsenal in their hopes of closing down a Premier League title victory. A tough clash with Wolves last time out saw the Gunners continue their decent form, with early goals scored by Bukayo Saka andMartin Odegaard.
There were other chances to put the match to rest, but that slim lead made the game tense as Matheus Cunha scored in the final five minutes to add tension.Mikel Arteta's side held firm, though, and all three points went to the home side, extending their run of wins in the league to three on the bounce.
With Arsenal top of the tree, results elsewhere were kind too as Manchester City drew for the third game in a row to open up a three point gap. That can be extended, albeit perhaps briefly, when Arsenal take on Luton Town in midweek action on Tuesday night.
The Hatters have a steep task on their hands to stay in the division at the first time of asking, but their current tally of nine points does have them just above the bottom three. They've proven to be a tough team to crack at Kenilworth Road too, having held title rivals Liverpool to a draw earlier this season.
It means Arsenal will have to be at their best to try and earn all three points and continue their ascent towards another title challenge. As usual, football pundits have made their attempts to predict how the match will play out, so with that said, here's a look at a few of those.
