Weather Warning Issued Ahead of Wolves vs Arsenal Premier League Clash
Wolverhampton Wanderers have been issued a weather warning as snow is forecasted to potentially impact their Premier League encounter against Arsenal. The match is scheduled for Wednesday night at Molineux Stadium, kicking off at 20:00 GMT.
Match Context and Team Updates
Wolves return to Premier League action following a resilient goalless draw against Nottingham Forest in their previous league fixture. Over the weekend, they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Grimsby Town in the FA Cup fourth round, thanks to a goal from Santiago Bueno in the 60th minute. This sets the stage for Wolves aiming to extend their unbeaten run to three games as they host league leaders Arsenal.
Manager Rob Edwards has nearly a full squad available for selection, with only Hwang Hee-chan and Toti Gomes expected to be sidelined due to injuries. Both teams have significant stakes in the match, with Wolves fighting to improve their position and Arsenal leading the table.
Snow Forecast and Potential Impact
According to the Met Office, a yellow snow warning has been issued for the West Midlands and Wales, effective from 4pm on Wednesday until 6am on Thursday. The forecast predicts a mix of sleet and rain in Wolverhampton on Wednesday evening, with a chance of snow during the match.
Reports indicate that patchy accumulations of 1-2cm of snow are expected in some areas of the West Midlands and southern England. Higher elevations could see more substantial amounts, with 2-5cm over 150 meters and up to 15cm above 300 meters.
While the snow is not currently anticipated to cause the match to be postponed, it could affect playing conditions at Molineux. Updates will be provided if the situation changes throughout the day. Fans and players are advised to stay informed about the latest weather developments as the game approaches.
