Arsenal vs Wolves

With the Gunners on an excellent run of form, Phil Kitromilides is backing them to heap more misery on Terry Connor's side who are rooted to the bottom of the table.Tonight's trip to Molineux is a chance for Arsenal to further cement their grip on third place in the Premier League, something that a couple of months ago looked extremely unlikely.But a run of eight wins in their last nine games, coupled with the self implosion of their fiercest rivals Tottenham, means the Gunners head to the Black Country knowing that a victory would put them five points clear in third place. Wolves meantime are beginning to look doomed for relegation, and are stranded at the bottom of the table with seemingly little hope of retaining their top flight status.Given the relative standings of the two teams plus their form coming into the match (Wolves have won just one of their last 20 games), an away victory looks highly likely and William Hill offer odds of 4/11 (1.44) on Arsenal claiming all three points.Wolves are available at 6/1 (7.00) to win, while the draw is priced at 10/3 (4.33).Yet there seems to be no logical reason for backing anything other than an Arsenal victory and the best value looks like being Arsenal -1 at 21/20 (2.05). Wolves have conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight matches, while Arsenal always look likely to score.The spirit and fight is slowly draining from this Wolves side and if Arsenal get one goal, the chances are they will go on to get a few more, so this looks like a solid selection. For a value bet try backing over 2.5 goals in the second half at 12.5 (3.40), with Wolves having seen three or more goals in the second half of five of their last 11 games.
