All of whom are challenging for European football.<\/p>\n<p>The latest loss came at Molineux last weekend when a highly-controversial red card to the Gunners&#8217; Myles Lewis-Skelly looked to have given the home side the advantage.<\/p>\n<p>However, Joao Gomes was sent off for Vitor Pereira&#8217;s men and Riccardo Calafiori netted the only goal of the game four minutes later.<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, Wanderers occupy the last relegation berth in 18th spot. A point against their rivals <em>could<\/em> be enough to see them move clear of danger.
