Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Arsenal sign off their Premier League campaign with a thumping 5-0 win over Wolves at the Emirates Stadium. Granit Xhaka capped his final appearance for the Gunners with the opening two goals, heading home Gabriel Jesus' cross before slotting home a second. Bukayo Saka put his team in complete control after 26 minutes with a third. Jesus made it four in the second half before Jose Sa fumbled Jakub Kiwior's strike into his own net to round off the scoring. Arsenal finish the campaign in second five points off the pace of Manchester City, and although they would have taken it before the start of the season, Mikel Arteta may look back on the last few months with regret.
