Arsenal have won each of their last seven meetings with the Old Gold, having picked up quite the habit of beating them in the Premier League.
They will be looking to continue that feat, though fans are already on the cautious side following the latest referee appointments being confirmed.
Premier League announce Michael Oliver in charge of Wolves vs Arsenal
Ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Wolves, the Premier League have announced that the referee in charge of the game will be Michael Oliver.
It’s a decision that harks back to a meeting between the two teams back in 2022, where the same match official was in the spotlight.
In a bizarre set of circumstances, a counterattack from Wolves saw Gabriel Martinelli commit two fouls to deny the Old Gold in one run.
Oliver produced two yellow cards, resulting in a red card in one swift action, something rarely seen in the Premier League.
There were just seven seconds between both fouls, which reduced the Gunners to ten men for the remainder of the match.
Fortunately, it wasn’t costly in the clash as they ran out winners and managed to hold onto their lead.
With Oliver taking charge of the meeting between the sides again, some fans are far from impressed.

Arsenal fans react to Michael Oliver appointment
With Oliver now set to take charge of the match, fans were far from thrilled in their reaction on social media.
One supporter went on to say: “Wasn’t he the referee that put us down to 10 men against Man City earlier this season. As well as the 2 Martinelli yellows in one phase of play?”
Another added: “Martinelli will be pleased!” in a joking manner, referencing the previous red card decision.
The decision at the time wasn’t taken very well either, with fans stating back in 2022: “Embarrassing from the referee”
“Most ridiculous decision yet,” and “How was that not a foul on martinelli originally,” coming at the time.
Arsenal fans will certainly be hopeful that there is no repeat this time around, given the baffling circumstances of the last clash.
