Whilst Wolves are no 20 this season, you should note that they've already beaten Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool and most of their struggles have come against teams in the lower half of the table.
Many pundits/fans I've spoken to think they're better than their position suggests (based on the quality of their play) and you could argue that Man Utd are flattering to deceive this season. In fact, this is less than a vintage edition of Man Utd but they've benefited from equally erractic play from all of their contemporaries.
The Gunners have suffered greater reverses than Man Utd's performance against Wolves. See:
Ipswich (a league below them and struggling in that league),
Spurs (2-0 lead at home thrown away against arch enemies),
Newcastle (at home)
West Brom (at home)
My gut feeling is that once again, Arsenal don't have the stomach for the fight and are too prone to defensive lapses. Man Utd, on the other hand, regularly win games in the last 10 minutes, precisely because they never believe they're beaten.
