As Arsenal chase what would be a famous Premier League title, Mikel Arteta will be keenly aware of how crowded the fixture schedule has become.
The Premier League is arguably the most important of the trophies they are in the hunt for, but far from the only one.
The Gunners are also giving chase for all three other trophies available to them as February begins, advancing to the Champions League Round of 16 while also reaching the Carabao Cup final and through to the FA Cup fourth round.
One of those other competitions presents Arsenal with a complication to their league schedule, forcing some reshuffling in the calendar as February rolls along. The Jugo Mobile explains where this movement has occurred, and how it shakes out in the wider picture.
Why are Arsenal playing Wolves on Wednesday?
The Premier League match between Arsenal and Wolves, originally scheduled for the weekend of March 21, has been rearranged to be played on Wednesday, February 18.
This is due to Arsenal’s participation in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, March 22.
The rearranged fixture adds a layer of complication to Arsenal’s road visit to arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby, which will take place just four days after the rescheduled trip to Wolves.
Arsenal upcoming fixtures
Following the 3-0 victory over Sunderland on February 7, Arsenal have three more Premier League games to navigate the rest of the month, plus one FA Cup game as well.
The Gunners will conclude February play with the North London derby against Tottenham, which could be a major determining factor in their title chase.
The schedule will get some relief in late February as the Gunners secured a bye through to the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League, which will give them some much-needed rest while other teams navigate the two-legged playoffs.
