Arsenal traveled to Wolverhampton for their away match in the 23rd round of the Premier League. Young talents Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly were named in the starting lineup for the North London side.

Details. With Lewis-Skelly (18 years old) and Nwaneri (17), Arsenal has fielded two English players aged 18 or younger in a Premier League starting XI for the first time since February 1998.

Back in 1998, Matthew Upson and Paolo Vernazza started a match against Crystal Palace.

Recall. Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard was left out of today’s squad. According to British media, the Norwegian midfielder is dealing with a cold.

Arsenal heads into this game sitting second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Liverpool, who also have a game in hand.
