Arsenal v Wolves live: Team news and line-ups from Premier League clash tonight – UK Times

Arsenal enjoyed a boost in midweek as Gabriel Jesus returned from nearly a whole year on the sidelines, after sustaining an ACL injury in January. The Brazilian came off the bench and proved difficult for Club Brugge to handle, rattling the crossbar late on, so could be in line for another substitute appearance today.

The Gunners are also likely to have Declan Rice back after he was ill for their European fixture, but Riccardo Calafiori will miss out after accumulating too many yellow cards, in another defensive blow for the much-depleted Gunners.

Max Dowman, Cristhian Mosquera, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Magalhaes and Kai Havertz will all be sidelined with injuries, while Arteta will be sweating on the fitness of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, who have both picked up knocks.

Wolves will have Joao Gomes back from a yellow-card suspension but will have to do without Rodrigo Gomes, Leon Chiwone, Daniel Bentley and Marshall Munetsi, while Bellegarde picked up an injury against Manchester United and may miss out.

Arsenal host Wolves at the Emirates Stadium tonight with kick-off at 8pm GMT.

But despite a leaky defence hit by injuries to star duo Gabriel and William Saliba, Arsenal are on firm ground at the Emirates, where they are unbeaten in the league this season – and they shouldn’t have much to fear against rock-bottom Wolves.

Rob Edwards’ side are in line for one of the Premier League’s most unwanted records; with just two points from 15 games they’re on course to finish with fewer than Derby’s infamous benchmark of 11, and endured yet more misery in a 4-1 hammering by Manchester United on Monday.

Hello and welcome along to live coverage of Arsenal’s Premier League encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates this evening. Will the Gunners move five points clear at the top, or is a shock in store?
