Sunday's surprise 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle was the Gunners' third league defeat this term in 11 games, leaving them five points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
Fabregas and co are desperate to end their title drought having failed to win the Premier League since Arsene Wenger's 'invincibles' finished top of the pile in the 2003/04 campaign.
The Spain international is not dwelling on their loss to the Magpies and is pleased the team have a chance to return to winning ways so quickly courtesy of their midweek encounter.
However, the talented 23-year-old knows Wolves will not be an easy nut to crack following their recent home with over Manchester City and is taking nothing for granted.
"These are the games that can win or lose you titles," he told The Sun.
"Because it's not just about beating the big teams in the big games - it's about winning these matches also.
"The Newcastle defeat was a really bad result... another one of those games where we have struggled.
"And we all said after we'd lost at home to West Brom that we couldn't afford any more setbacks like that - and yet we did it again!
"We have to realise one more mistake like that and it could all be finished. We are lucky Chelsea lost at Liverpool so we didn't lose any ground on the leaders. But Manchester United and Manchester City won.
"The good thing about football is you get the chance to bounce back quickly.
"So now we have to go to Wolves and that will be very difficult. We have to go there and be strong, show our character and play our football. Because we now can't afford to lose against Wolves if we want to win the Premier League.
"We know Wolves are a very good team and although we won there 4-1 last year it was still a very difficult game."
