Watch Arsenal vs Bolton Wanderers LIVE!
Gaffer-less Bolton Wanderers make a daunting trip to The Emirates on Wednesday in an attempt to set ablaze the relegation battle. The Trotters are currently occupying 18th place in the league table and are well and trully in contention for the diabolical drop.

at 9:45pm SA time, with the build up starting at 9:15pm. Please note that Blandford Manor is closed until 14th January so the Arsenal SA Club will NOT be meeting for this fixture.
