The reason why Wolves vs Arsenal is being played on Wednesday night
When is Wolves vs Arsenal?: Wolves will welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to Molineux on Wednesday, February 18. The game will kick off at 8pm.
When was the fixture originally scheduled for?: The match at Molineux was originally scheduled for Saturday, March 21. But Arsenal's progression to the Carabao Cup final has led to this schedule change.
The reason for the midweek move: After Arsenal defeated Chelsea 4-2 on aggregate in the semis, they secured a spot at Wembley, where they'll take on Manchester City on Sunday, March 22. To avoid a potential fixture backlog later in the spring, the Premier League decided to pull the Wolves game forward to this free midweek slot in February.
Champions League point: This specific week was available because it falls during the Champions League play-off round. Since Arsenal topped the league table in Europe, they avoided the play-off stage and were left with a rare midweek available on the calendar - making it the perfect time to clear a future scheduling conflict.
Where can I watch it?: The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, and Sky Sports Ultra HDR. Coverage typically begins at 7pm.
Live streaming option: Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match via the Sky Go app. Non-subscribers can watch by purchasing a NOW Sports Membership**.**
Radio coverage: If you're on the move, you can catch live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live or talkSPORT. You can also check local listings for audio updates.
