Team news

Wolverhampton make it to this game on the back of a five-match run without a win across all competitions, which included an embarrassing 3-2 loss to Coventry in the FA Cup. Their most recent game ended in a two-all draw against Nottingham, which did not benefit their chances to reach the top half of the table. For this game, Gary O’Neil may have to deal with massive absences in front of goal, as their top two strikers have serious doubts about playing in this fixture.

Arsenal will make it their duty to try and bring in as many points as possible to stand a chance to win the league, especially after their whopping loss to Aston Villa last week. Mikel Arteta’s men have also been eliminated of the UEFA Champions League, leaving the Premier League as the only chance to win silverware this season, and that does not depend entirely on them. This might be a good game for Arteta’s men to bounce back and correct some of their mistakes, especially in defense, where they have conceded in three consecutive games with disappointing results.

Both teams will have to adapt to some absences that could be key to the outcome of the game. That being said, here is the list of unavailable footballers for this Premier League match.

Wolves: Pedro Neto, Craig Dawson, Nelson Semedo, Matheus Cunha (injured); Hwang-Hee Chan, Rayan Aït-Nouri (doubtful).

Arsenal: Jurrien Timber (injured).
