THE LOWDOWN
ARSENAL
The morale in the Arsenal camp is bound to be low after their title challenge came to an end with defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out, but Mikel Arteta will be urging his men to end the season on a high in front of the Emirates crowd.
The Gunners knew that their title hopes were hanging by a thread heading into the Forest game, but the writing was on the wall when in-form Taiwo Awoniyi struck Forest in front after 19 minutes. Arsenal largely dominated possession thereafter, but couldn't find a way through their stubborn opponents, who held out for a victory that guaranteed their Premier League survival.
WOLVES
Wolves' final home game of the season saw them come agonisingly to giving the Molineux faithful a victory, but they now have an opportunity to end their season on a high against a downtrodden Arsenal side.
Against Everton last weekend, things were going well when Hwang Hee-Chan put Wolves ahead in the first half and for the vast majority of the game it was looking like Julen Lopetegui's side were putting a huge dent in Everton's survival hopes. However, a Yerry Mina equaliser deep into injury time rescued a point for the Toffees, much to the dismay of the hosts.
THE TEAM NEWS
ARSENAL
Mikel Arteta namechecked a few players with issues at the moment, with Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard in particular now doubtful for the final game of the season. In Saka's case, his issue has been going on for a few weeks so with Arsenal's title hopes now over, the England international may not be risked.
Kieran Tierney was benched against Nottingham Forest amid reports he is on his way out of the club, but he should come back into the side here, especially as fellow left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko is injured.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Kiwior, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Jorginho; Vieira, Odegaard, Trossard; Jesus
UNAVAILABLE: Tomiyasu (Injured), Zinchenko (Injured), Elneny (Injured), Martinelli (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Saliba (Injured), Nelson (Illness), Saka (Injured), Trossard (Injured)
WOLVES
No new injuries have been reported in the Wolves camp, meaning that long-term absentees Chiquinho and Sasa Kalajdzic are the only known players that will miss out on Sunday.
Julen Lopetegui has rotated his pack frequently since his appointment towards the back end of 2022, and it is set to be no different on the last day of the season. The likes of Max Kilman, Mario Lemina and Matias Nunes warmed the bench against Everton last week and could return to the fold here, while Diego Costa could return to the frontline in what is potentially his last game in a Wolves shirt.
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Bentley; Semedo, Dawson, Kilman, Toti; Nunes, Neves, Lemina, Podence; Hwang, Costa
UNAVAILABLE: Chiquinho (Injured), Kalajdzic (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
It's been a tough few weeks for Arsenal, who have gone from having a fairly commanding lead at the top of the table, to seeing the title slip out of their hands as they were reeled in by Pep Guardiola's relentless Man City side. With the pressure now off though, the Gunners can play with a sense of freedom here as they look to at least finish the season on a positive note. Wolves only have minor positions in the bottom half of the table to play for, so you'd have to fancy the hosts to claim the win in this one.
