hectic season on Monday night with a disappointing 3-2 loss against struggling Fulham, handing the Cottagers their first win in the Premier League in five games.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s been Wolves\u2019 story for many seasons now, able to play both up and down respective to their level of competition, securing wins against the likes of Tottenham and Manchester City, but then losing outright against both Sheffield United and Fulham in subsequent games.<\/p>\n<p>That rollercoaster form for Wolves however suggests that at current odds of +930 to win this game outright on Saturday, and catching +1.5 on the handicap also, the men from the West Midlands could potentially provide some value this weekend traveling down to the English capital.<\/p>\n<p>They face an Arsenal team on Saturday however who have just gone top of the Premier League table yet again after a competitive 1-0 road win against Brentford at the weekend, and one who also owns the league\u2019s best defensive xGA numbers at home this season as well.<\/p>\n<p>That Brentford win was far from convincing though, and despite the Gunners&#8217; recent solid form in the league, the fact their last three wins have come against Brentford, Burnley, and Sheffield United still leaves a few question marks in terms of their overall ability to cover this line on Saturday, a line they&#8217;ve only covered three times all season at home.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves have given Arsenal trouble across recent years at the Emirates also, covering this +1.5 line in four of their last five visits here, albeit with that one exception being their previous visit here back in April which resulted in a comprehensive 5-0 routing by Arsenal.<\/p>\n<p>With Wolves having the better overall xG of the two teams going back to October 1st, and Arsenal being distracted by European duties this week as well, the men from the West Midlands could well stifle the Gunners in this one and we like Wolves on the +1.5 handicap line on Saturday.<\/p>\n<h3>Premier League Prediction: Wolves +1.5 (-105)<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: revert; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe
