Arsenal XI vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news
admin_news
Arsenal travel to Molineux on Wednesday, aiming to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League.
The Gunners have moved into February with a four-point lead over second-placed Manchester City. Manager Mikel Arteta oversaw a comfortable 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Sunday, which followed a frustrating 1–1 draw at Brentford. Arsenal arrive in the Midlands with a perfect record in midweek matches this season, having won all eight games played on a Wednesday. A victory tonight would put immense pressure on City before the weekend’s high-stakes North London derby.
Arsenal Team News
Mikel Arteta manages a squad currently without its captain and primary midfield engine. Notably, Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are ruled out tonight with knee and muscle injuries, respectively, though both are possibilities for Sunday. Mikel Merino also remains sidelined. Consequently, the manager is expected to rely on Eberechi Eze to provide the creative spark in midfield. In positive news, Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White are expected to be available after late fitness scares against Wigan.
David Raya will start in goal behind a defensive line featuring the returning William Saliba, who was rested for much of the weekend cup tie. Jurriën Timber and Piero Hincapié are expected to occupy the full-back positions. In midfield, Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will anchor the side. Bukayo Saka is fit to start on the right wing, while Viktor Gyökeres leads the line as the central striker. Notably, Noni Madueke is pushing for a start, having scored four goals in his career against Wolves—his highest tally against any single opponent.
