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