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.

The Reds have been chasing the French forward since the end of last season and though the report states that today could be the day for Fekir to be a Red, the next two days are critical for negotiations.  The fee for the 24-year-old star is stated to be around £48.4m with add-ons expected to be £4.4m. Michael Edwards, our sporting director, is in Paris to complete the talks before Fekir travels with the France squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. We have also kept a medical team on standby just in case we can finalise the signing in France. Fekir would be our 3rd signing of the summer, considering that Keita and Fabinho have already been signed. Confirmation of signing from other outlets too Twitter also saw a couple of renowned Liverpool experts agree to the fact that the deal will be done soon or is done already.

It’s time to let Biafra people go

The current antics of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the illusory Biafra Republic, brings to mind an often quoted remark by Karl Marx, who pointed out in reference to the 9th November 1799 coup d’etat by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte in France: A woman holds a Biafran flag during a service at the St. Martin Catholic of Tours Church on May 28, 2017 in the Aba-South district in Aba. The Nigerian civil war’s 50th anniversary will be commemorated on May 30. The war was triggered when the Igbo people, the main ethnic group in the southeast, declared an independent breakaway state, the Republic of Biafra. / AFP PHOTO “History often repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce…” As if to illustrate this thought-provoking adage afresh, post-colonial Nigerian history, which first produced the immense tragedy of Biafra with its horrible litany of death and widespread destruction, is now going on to provide the world with a new version of Biafra that is being...
