Our young Gunners will aim to make it two wins from two as they travel to the West Midlands to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, 23rd August, at Compton Park. The match kicks off at 1pm (UK time).

We approach this fixture with confidence after a strong 4-2 victory over Manchester United in our season opener. A brace from Khayon Edwards, along with goals from Michal Rosiak and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, secured all three points.


Opponent Spotlight

Last season, Wolves finished 10th in Premier League 2, amassing 31 points with a record of nine wins, seven losses, and four draws. 

They began their current league campaign earlier this week away to Nottingham Forest where they lost 2-0, so they will be looking to bounce back with a positive result.
