Arsenal would be aiming to keep their unbeaten run going when they face a slightly wobbly Wolves team at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday.

Team News

Danny Welbeck suffered a horrible ankle injury during a Europa League game against Sporting. Therefore, he will be out for the foreseeable future. Stephan Lichtsteiner also had a hamstring problem on Thursday, while Nacho Monreal recovers from a similar injury. Mohamed Elneny is still out and may come back after the international break.

Formation – 4-2-3-1

Manager – Unai Emery

Bernd Leno (GK)

The German has taken over the first-choice role in the goalkeeping department. He has had to wait for that but for the way Emery wants his team to play, Leno is an ideal man between the sticks.

Hector Bellerin (RB)

The Spaniard just got himself fit for the Liverpool game last week and was rested for the Europa game. Expect him to start on Sunday.

Rob Holding (CB)

The youngster has been an impressive presence at the back for the Gunners. On current form, he should start most games.

Shkodran Mustafi (CB)

The German was colossal against Liverpool last Saturday, hence, Emery might be tempted to continue with him alongside Holding.

Sead Kolasinac (LB)

Kolasinac came back from injury last week and did well against Jurgen Klopp’s men. He is almost certain to start again on Sunday.

Lucas Torreira (CM)

The Uruguayan has been one of the impressive players in midfield. He should every game unless there is an injury issue.

Granit Xhaka (CM)

The Swiss international got a game off for the Europa League. Hence, he is fresh enough to feature this weekend.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (LW)

The Gabonese came off the bench earlier than expected against Sporting but he is almost certain to start on the left wing against Wolves.

Mesut Ozil (CAM)

Ozil got a game off on Thursday, probably to get a rest and be fresh to fire against the Old Gold.

Alex Iwobi (RW)

On current form, Iwobi should be starting ahead of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The latter has struggled to find his feet this season.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST)

The Frenchman scored a great goal against Liverpool to earn a deserved point last week. He is been in good form and Wolves defenders will be wary of him.

Emery: I don't know if Ozil attended Tottenham Match or not

Click here to Join the whatsapp group for all ARSENAL NEWS Unai Emery admitted that he did not know whether Mesut Ozil had even attended Arsenal's 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, as the German midfielder missed out with an apparent back injury. Ozil was not in the Arsenal squad, having missed the trip to Ukraine this week, and it was claimed by Arsenal sources that he had suffered a recurrence of a back spasm. Ozil had missed Arsenal's game at Fulham on October 7 because of a similar complaint. This fresh back spasm had occurred just days after Ozil was left as an unused substitute for the 2-1 win at Bournemouth. Asked repeatedly about Ozil in his post-match press conference at the Emirates, Emery said that Ozil "has back ache" when asked why he could not play. Asked when Ozil suffered this problem, Emery said that he "did not know". Then asked whether Ozil had even attended the game at the Emirates, Emery said he "did not know". Now fo...

Transfer Talk:Arsenal 'eyeing £53m Kalidou Koulibaly swoop'

Image
Arsenal are reportedly lining up a £53m deal to sign defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli this summer. The Gunners face a summer of change with Arsene Wenger stepping down as manager after 22 years following a campaign which has seen them post their lowest finish and lowest points tally under the Frenchman. Arsenal ended the season with the worst defensive record in the top seven and their own highest number of goals conceded since 1983-84, and so have been looking for defensive reinforcements to bolster their back line next term. The Express reports that the club have identified centre-back Koulibaly as an ideal option to shore up the heart of their defence, which has also been left weakened by a long-term injury to Laurent Koscielny and the retirement of Per Mertesacker. However, Arsenal would face stiff competition for the signature of Koulibaly, who has also been linked with Chelsea and Barcelona. The North London outfit are otherwise understood to be considering a move for ...
