Why Wolves vs Arsenal was moved to Wednesday

Arsenal visit bottom-of-the-table Wolves on Wednesday night in a rearranged Premier League fixture, aiming to extend their lead at the summit following a dominant 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan.

Arsenal head into Wednesday’s rearranged Premier League clash against Wolves at Molineux with the chance to move seven points clear at the top of the table.

The fixture, originally set for March, was brought forward due to the Gunners’ participation in the Carabao Cup final.

Mikel Arteta’s side enters the match in high spirits after a 4-0 FA Cup thrashing of Wigan Athletic on Sunday, where they remarkably scored four times within the opening half-hour. Despite their recent scoring form, the Gunners are dealing with several injury concerns. Riccardo Calafiori remains a doubt after pulling out during the warm-up against Wigan, while captain Martin Odegaard missed the cup tie with a minor knee issue. Ben White, however, has provided a positive update on social media after his late substitution. Arteta noted the fitness challenges, stating, “We have to wait and see in the next 48 hours how things develop.”
