Head-to-Head Record: Arsenal has absolutely bullied Wolves in this rivalry with a win-loss record of 17-3 in 23 matches.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

It’s that stage of the season where Wolverhampton have nothing to lose, while their opponents have plenty at stake. Nottingham Forest learned that the hard way in MD26, as Wolves held the Tricky Trees to a goalless draw despite facing 35 shots. 

Jose Sa’s ten saves secured a point and, in the process, cost Sean Dyche his job. That result, combined with their 1-0 FA Cup victory over Grimsby Town, will give Rob Edwards’ side a boost of confidence heading into this midweek clash.

Stats that matter

1. The draw with Forest ended Wolves’ run of 14 away Premier League matches without a clean sheet.
2. Wolves have claimed six of their nine points since the start of the year.
3. No team in the league has struggled more in front of goal than Wolves, failing to score in 14 matches this season.

Team News 

Wolves will be without Hwang Hee-Chan for several weeks due to a calf injury, and Wednesday’s clash arrives too soon for Toti Gomes, who is still recovering from a hamstring issue suffered back in December. 

Wolverhampton Probable XI  - Sa (GK); Mosquera, S. Bueno, Krejci, R. Gomes, A. Gomes, Mane, J. Gomes, H. BuenoArmstrong, Arokodare. 

Arsenal FC Preview

Arteta’s Arsenal enjoyed a perfect FA Cup weekend, cruising past Wigan United 4-0 with goals from Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus. But their Premier League form has been less convincing. 

A 1-1 draw with seventh-placed Brentford saw Madueke’s late strike cancelled out, with the Gunners managing just two shots on target all game. The result cut their lead over Manchester City from nine points to four, making a Wednesday night win essential to restore their cushion. 

Stats that matter

1. Of the 17 games in which Arsenal have scored first in the Premier League this season, the draw with Brentford was just the second time they’ve failed to win (W15 D1 L1).
2. Arsenal have won each of their last 14 games against teams in the relegation zone.
3. The Gunners have scored in each of their last 36 meetings against Wolves in all competitions. 

Team News

Arsenal received a timely lift ahead of the midweek clash, with Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White back in contention. However, Mikel Arteta will still be without key figures Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz, who remain sidelined through injury.

Arsenal Probable XI -  Raya (GK); Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Rice, Zubimendi, Eze, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard. 

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS FC vs ARSENAL FC
Winning Prediction

​Arsenal will undoubtedly head into the fixture with confidence, having dominated Wolves in recent years. In fact, the Gunners have won each of their last nine Premier League encounters against them. 

However, Wolves can take heart from their most recent 2-1 defeat where  they managed to get on the scoresheet, and Arsenal’s margin of victory relied on two own goals. Nevertheless, it remains difficult to look past Arsenal as the favorites for this encounter.
