Arsenal F.C. will be hosted by Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. today, Wednesday 18th February 2026, at 20:00 British time.
Softfootball gathered, the fixture, originally scheduled for Gameweek 31 of the Premier League, was moved to this week because Arsenal are set to face Manchester City F.C. in the Carabao Cup final. With both clubs free during this midweek window, the FA decided to fix the match now to ease congestion later in the season.
Arsenal are expected to extend their lead at the top of the table, especially considering Wolves’ struggles this season. Wolves currently sit bottom of the league in 20th position with just nine points, while Arsenal lead the standings.
Recent history also favours the North London side. In the last 10 meetings between both teams, Arsenal have defeated Wolves nine times, with Wolves managing just one win. That record highlights Arsenal’s dominance in this fixture.
Earlier this season at the Emirates, Arsenal secured a 2:1 victory over Wolves in a keenly contested encounter. Another win tonight would be very important for Mikel Arteta’s side, as it would temporarily move them seven points clear of Manchester City in second place.
Arsenal have also shown strong form against lower-ranked teams recently. In their last outing, they thrashed Wigan Athletic F.C. 4:0 in the FA Cup, underlining their attacking strength and focus.
With the title race heating up and a cup final on the horizon, Arsenal will aim to take full advantage of Wolves’ poor form and strengthen their grip at the top of the Premier League table.
