Arsenal’s Predicted Lineup Against Wolves: Team News and Insights

Arsenal heads to Molineux on Wednesday, looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.

Entering February, Arsenal holds a four-point advantage over Manchester City. Manager Mikel Arteta recently led the team to a solid 4–0 win against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, following a 1–1 draw at Brentford. The Gunners have won all their midweek matches this season, with a perfect record of eight wins on Wednesdays. A win tonight would increase the pressure on City ahead of the upcoming North London derby.

Arsenal Team News

Arteta’s squad is currently missing its captain and key midfielder. Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz are out with knee and muscle injuries, but both could return for Sunday’s match. Mikel Merino is also unavailable. Eberechi Eze is likely to take on a bigger role in the midfield. On a positive note, Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White are expected to be fit after some concerns following the Wigan match.

David Raya will start in goal, supported by a defense that includes William Saliba, who was rested for much of the cup match. Jurriën Timber and Piero Hincapié are likely to play as full-backs. Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi will provide midfield stability. Bukayo Saka is ready to start on the right wing, with Viktor Gyökeres as the central striker. Notably, Noni Madueke is vying for a starting spot, having scored four goals against Wolves in his career—his highest tally against any team.
