Wolves vs Arsenal Postponement Latest as Met Office Issues New Weather Warnings

Arsenal's Premier League clash with Wolves at Molineux on Wednesday, February 18, faces potential postponement due to severe weather alerts from the Met Office, warning of heavy snow across the UK.[4]



The fixture, originally scheduled for March 21, was rescheduled after Arsenal advanced to the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley that weekend.[1][3][5] This makes it the only Premier League game this week, as other clubs prioritize European commitments or rest periods.[1] Wolves confirmed the new date of Wednesday, February 18 at 8pm, broadcast live on Sky Sports, fitting into their packed February schedule including matches against Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Grimsby Town, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa.[3]

Arsenal, chasing the title, could extend their lead over Manchester City to seven points with a win, especially after a recent draw at Brentford. Wolves, however, have struggled for consistency, setting the stage for an anticipated Gunners victory.[1]

Tensions rose with the Met Office's latest warnings, prompting scrutiny over whether the game at Molineux will proceed amid snow risks. No official postponement has been announced yet, but poor conditions could force a last-minute decision, echoing past weather-disrupted matches. Fans and officials await updates from the Premier League and clubs, with all fixtures subject to change.[3][4]

The rescheduling reflects broader calendar pressures from cup and European ties, ensuring Arsenal balances league and domestic cup duties without end-of-season congestion.[1][5] Supporters are urged to monitor club channels for real-time alerts, as the outcome hinges on improving weather forecasts.
