Doherty insists Wolves capable of upsetting Arsenal tonight

Wolves defender Matt Doherty insists they're capable of upsetting Arsenal tonight.

Doherty says Wolves have shown they'll step up when the standard of opposition demands it.

He told the club's website: “They come to us and it's going to be a big game because they have a lot to play for. I'm not sure what their record is coming to Molineux but I'm pretty sure they never have it that easy, so it's going to be a tough game for them.

“I remember beating them in our first season back in the Premier League and then there was the game after I had left during the covid year when Arsenal had a couple of players sent off, but Wolves have always taken scalps.

“We've taken Chelsea and Spurs twice this season, we've taken Man City, and for as long as I can remember we've always been capable of doing stuff like that. But I know that they're in top form, they're going for the title, so it won't be easy, but they won't fancy coming to us either."

On claims Wolves have nothing to play for, he also said: “I think that's kind of a myth. I don't think that's ever happened for anyone mentally. I don't remember any club or any manager or staff who would ever allow that to happen. I know some results at the end of the season may make people think that, but it's never the case.

“You are always playing for something, whether that's a certain position getting you certain rewards. Every point matters, every position you finish in the league matters to us."
