The last time Arsenal travelled to Molineux in the Premier League, they secured a 0-1 victory. This time, a title-chasing Gunners side travels there again, only this time, to face a Wolves team destined for the drop.

It's Premier League action on Wednesday, February 18, as Arsenal travel to Molineux to face a Wolverhampton Wanderers side mired in a desperate battle against relegation. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will be aiming to continue his side's impressive run against teams in the bottom three.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🟡 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Bottom of the Premier League table with 9 points from 25 matches.

🔴 Arsenal: Top of the Premier League table with 60 points.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Arsenal are on a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

🔥 Arsenal have won each of their last 14 top-flight games against relegation-zone teams.

🔥 Wolves have lost 10 of their 13 Premier League home matches this season.

🔥 While Arsenal leads the recent H2H battle with nine straight wins, Wolves' last victory over the Gunners was a league double during the 2020-21 season.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

 

🟡Wolverhampton Wanderers | Form: D🟡L🔴L🔴L🔴D🟡W🟢:

Despite being rooted to the foot of the table, Rob Edwards' side can take heart from a gritty goalless draw against Nottingham Forest and their progression in the FA Cup.

However, they have lost 10 of their 13 home games this season and are 18 points adrift of safety. With time running out and pressure mounting, they will have to start getting positive results soon to avoid breaking Derby County's unwanted record for the lowest points total.

 

🔴Arsenal | Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡W🟢:

Mikel Arteta's side extended their unbeaten run with a merited 1-1 draw against Brentford before easing past Wigan in the FA Cup, keeping their quadruple hopes alive.

They boast a formidable record against teams in the relegation zone, winning their last 14 such games by an aggregate score of 40-4. They will look to repeat that dominance against a Wolves side desperate to salvage some pride and avoid the drop.

The last time Arsenal faced Wigan Athletic in competitive action was the 2013-14 FA Cup semi-final, where the Gunners edged through on penalties. This time, a Premier League leader's side welcomes a Wigan team fighting for survival in League One.

It's FA Cup fourth-round action on Sunday, February 15, as Arsenal host Wigan Athletic at the Emirates Stadium. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will be aiming to progress beyond this stage for the first time since lifting the trophy in 2020.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 Arsenal: Fourth in the Premier League table, four points above Manchester City.

🔸 Wigan Athletic: In the League One relegation zone after a dreadful run.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions.

🔥 Arsenal have won their last three home matches since losing to Manchester United.

🔥 Wigan have lost five and drawn one of their last six League One matches.

🔥 While Arsenal leads the H2H history, Wigan's last memorable meeting was the 2013-14 semi-final, where Arsenal needed penalties to prevail.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

 

🔴Arsenal | Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡D🟡:

 

Mikel Arteta's quadruple-chasers made light work of Portsmouth in the third round, with Gabriel Martinelli's hat-trick stealing the headlines.

The Gunners scored all four goals from set-pieces, making them the team with the most goals from dead-ball situations in the 2025-26 competition from the first round onwards.

However, the hosts head into the weekend after being held to a 1-1 Premier League stalemate by Brentford. Despite that, the Emirates brings home comforts for Arsenal, who have won their last three matches in front of their own fans.

 

⚪Wigan Athletic | Form: W🟢L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴:

 

The Latics defied the odds in their third-round showdown, travelling to Championship outfit Preston North End and emerging 1-0 victors thanks to a Harrison Bettoni strike. Victory in 90 minutes was a welcome change for the away side, as Wigan required penalties to eliminate Barrow and Hemel Hempstead in earlier phases.

However, they have been unable to kick on since bettering Preston, losing five and drawing one of their subsequent six League One clashes—most recently following up a 6-1 humbling at Peterborough United with a 2-1 home reverse to Reading.

Wigan's dismal record ultimately cost Ryan Lowe his job, with Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow now in interim charge as the visitors search for a successor.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔴Arsenal (possible):

Kepa, White, Mosquera, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly, Eze, Norgaard, Rice, Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli.

 

⚪Wigan Athletic (possible):

Tickle, Fox, Aimson, Kerr, Hunt, Weir, Smith, Murray, Bettoni, Wright, Taylor.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Gabriel Martinelli — Third-round hat-trick hero will be among Arsenal players earning promotion to the first XI.

✨ Sam Tickle — Former Arsenal transfer target starts in goal for Wigan and will be crucial to their hopes.

✨ Harrison Bettoni — Scored the winner against Preston to send Wigan through to this fourth-round clash.

✨ Gyokeres — Among the plethora of Arsenal players expected to feature after being rested against Brentford.

 

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 Arsenal/Home to win = 1.06

💵 Wigan/Away to win = 32.00

💵 Handicap Home Win (0:2 Scores) = 1.56

💵 Over 3.5 total goals = 1.67

 

This clash presents a classic cup tie: a dominant Arsenal side chasing silverware faces a Wigan team desperate for a distraction from their relegation battle.

With the 2013-14 semi-final memories offering hope for the visitors, the Emirates Stadium is set for a compelling FA Cup night.
