Football News Update: Arsenal Kick Off 2024/25 Premier League Season Against Wolves
Arsenal begin their quest for the Premier League title this weekend as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners, who finished runners-up in the last two seasons, will be aiming to dethrone Manchester City and claim their first league crown since 2004.
Mikel Arteta’s side have been tipped as title favorites, with the squad boasting impressive depth and quality. The team’s prowess from set-pieces, thanks in part to the influence of coach Nicolas Jover, could prove vital in their pursuit of the trophy.
Wolves, led by Gary O’Neil, will be looking to build on their solid mid-table finish last season and push for a top-ten berth. The visitors have made some shrewd signings, including the permanent acquisition of Tommy Doyle from Manchester City.
This fixture has provided plenty of entertainment in recent years, with Arsenal unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Wolves. The hosts will be eager to extend that run and get their season off to a winning start.
Kick-off is set for 3 pm BST on Saturday, August 17th. Unfortunately, due to the 3 pm TV blackout, the game will not be broadcast live in the UK. However, highlights will be available on the Sky Sports App, YouTube, and the popular BBC program Match of the Day.
