The little-known reason why Wolves v Arsenal is only midweek Prem match

Arsenal are aiming to move further forward in their title charge.

After dropping points at the resurgent Brentford last time around, the Gunners went into the game a mere four points ahead of their nearest rivals Manchester City.

Travelling to Molineux, Mikel Arteta's side went ahead after just five minutes courtesy of a Bukayo Saka goal, only a day after signing his new deal.

Arsenal though, are actually playing their matchday 31 game this midweek because of the Carabao Cup final.

Matchday 31 (March 20-22) is the weekend of the Carabao Cup final, which will be played out between the title-toppers and their rivals City, at Wembley Stadium.

It is yet to be said whether there is a free midweek for Man City to play their matchweek 31 fixture against Crystal Palace.

Playing at Wolves, Arsenal have the opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the table - an advantage that would matter majorly come the end of the campaign.
