Wolves vs Arsenal
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Molineux
Date: Wednesday, 24 April, 2019
Kick-off: 7:45pm BST, tonight
Arsenal are once again in a battle to secure a top-four finish with a testing trip to Wolves awaiting them tonight.
A shock home defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday leaves the Gunners in fifth place, one point behind Chelsea and four off third-placed Tottenham ahead of their game in hand at Molineux.
Manchester United sit just two points adrift in sixth and with just four games of the season remaining, Arsenal cannot afford another slip up.
It is on the road where they have been prone to doing just that this season however and in Wolves, they are up against opposition who have the best record in the league against the top six.

Score prediction: Wolves 1-1 Arsenal
Just as Arsenal found some resolve away from home with that valuable win away to Watford, that progress was forgotten after Sunday's defeat to Palace.
Both Spurs and Liverpool left Molineux with all three points but Wolves' record against top six teams remains a huge stumbling block for the Gunners to overcome.
