rsenal look to avoid going into the summer off the back of further disappointment as they host Wolves at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.
The Gunners’ title challenge has fallen away in tame fashion over recent weeks, with defeats to Brighton and Nottingham Forest set to ensure Manchester City are champions by ten points at the very least.
It is a squad very much ready for the summer and the new season, but first Mikel Arteta’s side must try and give the Arsenal fans one final performance and result to cheer.
Wolves secured Premier League survival with time to spare and so have nothing riding on the final day of the season as they look to take advantage of Arsenal’s alarming drop in performance levels.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Arsenal vs Wolves is scheduled for an 4.30pm BST kick-off time on Sunday 28 May, 2023.

Arsenal vs Wolves team news
Oleksandr Zinchenko, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli remain unavailable for Arsenal, but Arteta will surely not go with the same lineup and system that struggled so badly against Forest.
Ben White and Jakub Kiwior should return to more familiar roles, with it likely that only one of Thomas Partey and Jorginho start in midfield. Granit Xhaka is set to be involved for potentially the final time as an Arsenal player, with the Gunners in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a summer move.
There are not believed to be any fresh injury concerns for Wolves to deal with, leaving Julen Lopetegui with almost a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Diego Costa will be desperate to start up front as he returns to London, while Adama Traore is set to start and could cause a vulnerable Arsenal defence plenty of problems.
Unavailable: Gabriel Martinelli is among the Arsenal players out injured
/ REUTERSArsenal vs Wolves prediction
Wolves’ only win away from home in 2023 came against Southampton, and they come against a side in Arsenal who, aside from their recent stumbles, have been incredibly impressive at the Emirates.
The Gunners look a world away from the team that led the Premier League for so much of the season, but they should still have enough hear to finish the campaign in successful fashion.
Arsenal to win, 2-1.
