Wolves vs Arsenal team news: O'Neil and Arteta name lineups in Premier League

Gary O’Neil and Mikel Arteta have named their respective starting lineups and substitutes ahead of this evening’s Premier League fixture between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Arsenal at Molineux.

Another huge clash in the English top tier awaits as Wolves look to repeat the tricks of local rivals Aston Villa to upset the title race. The Villans dug in to win 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium last week, showing it’s possible to down Arteta’s Gunners.

It’ll be very tricky to earn even a point today, however, especially when the team news is considered. Matheus Cunha hasn’t made the matchday squad for the hosts, while Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina are both on the bench.

Arsenal’s XI is nearing full strength, with Gabriel Jesus supported by Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka in the advanced positions. Jakub Kiwior, a starter at left-back, is joined in the back four by the usual culprits Ben White, Gabriel and William Saliba.

Contrasting squad depth is an obvious factor, with Wolves naming five teenagers on the bench and Arsenal able to call upon several full internationals. Nonetheless, O’Neil has faith his team can make things difficult. Here are the two teams in full.
