A quirk in the Premier League schedule sees Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal square off Wednesday, pitting the top and bottom teams in the standings in a standalone match.
Due to Arsenal's continued pursuit of trophies in four different competitions, this game — officially a Matchweek 31 fixture — has been pushed ahead by several weeks. That means both sides can take advantage of the rest of the league being idle until the weekend and improve their respective situations.
For Wolves, every point is precious as they look to pull off the improbable and avoid the drop. The Old Gold are dead last in the league and 18 points from safety, and while it's highly unlikely they can escape relegation, Wednesday's match does provide the opportunity to inch closer to their lofty goal while their rivals are dormant.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are feeling the heat of the title race with Manchester City just four points back and looking primed for another impressive run-in. With this in mind, any mental advantage should be pounced on by the Gunners, and they can go up to seven points clear with a win against the cellar-dwellars.

“We want to try and be brave and win the game, but of course, we have to respect them and what they're going to make us do as well. We're going to have to be very good without the ball, very diligent. We're going to have to be patient, but aggressive in the right moments and then hopefully we'll have moments in the game that we can take advantage of."

"Well, I think understanding the difficulty of the match is always there in any game in the Premier League but when you come to the last stages of the season you know the importance of every win and what you have to do. I sense the team is in a really good emotional state, really looking forward to playing tomorrow and that's why. Play with that energy, that confidence and I'm sure we'll continue to do what we've done."
The reverse fixture was a close one, but with the title race more in focus for the Gunners they will likely come into this one in a more professional mindset than they did the last time these teams met.
Prediction: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
