And I mean, let's be honest … The table tells a striking picture. Arsenal sit comfortably at the summit of the table, while Wolves occupy the bottom of the division. … yet while this will be the 42nd time the top side have played the side at the foot of the division – winning 30 victories from 41, with seven tied games – which team is responsible for two of the four historical shocks? Indeed, Wolves, that’s who! So while the Arsenal manager will surely be expecting another victory, Rob Edwards must know that long shots sometimes come off, and you never know. The start is at 8 o'clock in the evening GMT. Let's go! (The other two last-over-first victories in the Premier League era are Oldham Athletic's 1-0 win over Manchester United in March 1993, and Tottenham Hotspur – admittedly, a surprising one - defeating Liverpool in November 2008.)
