Eagles are powerful birds. Their sharp talons are probably capable of gouging out the eyes or piercing the skin of a wolf; this, of course, will probably require extra persistence and skill as wolves are not easy opponents. Their beaks are hooked and also sharp enough to injure a wolf. They also have the advantage of flight and can attack from above, even if the wolf did not see it coming. If there's more than one eagle, there is no doubt the eagles would win, as another bird could easily come in if one is being attacked by the wolf. Their hollow bones, however, might be a slight disadvantage.

In Mongolia, golden eagles are trained by herders to protect their sheep from wolves and foxes. You can see videos of them actually killing the wolves. It has also been observed that eagles are capable of pulling mountain goats off cliffs. There is no doubt these are skilled predators.

Wolves, on the other hand, are also skilled and have advantages over the eagle depending on the fight. They are probably strong enough to pull the eagle down; that is, if they're quick enough, and can also bring down elk and caribou, amongst others. Wolves also generally travel in packs and will work together to attack intruders. However, wolves cannot jump and climb up into high altitudes.

I'd say both are awesome in their own way and it would be a pretty close fight. Sometimes the eagle will win, sometimes the wolf. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

And if the eagle does manage to kill the wolf, it will most certainly eat it or if it finds an already dead wolf. And vice versa. Hope that helped. Thanks! :)
