Arsenal will be facing Wolves away on Wednesday at 20:00 GMT in the Premier League.

It is the only league match scheduled in midweek – but why?

The fixture was originally set to take place on Saturday, 21 March.

However, as Arsenal will be facing Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final, their fixture against Wolves has been brought forward to a week in which both teams are free to play.

Manchester City’s fixture against Crystal Palace was also set to take place on 21 March, but the meeting has been postponed with a date yet to be fixed.

City’s match could not be scheduled to this week, at the same time as Arsenal’s, because Palace are in the Conference League knockout play-offs on Thursday evening.

Their reverse fixture against Zrinjski is on Thursday, 26 February, which rules out another possible midweek game.

Should Arsenal win Wednesday’s match, it will strengthen their lead in the Premier League over Man City by seven points.
