Arsenal starting XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney; Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock; William, Aubameyang, Saka.

Arsenal substitutes: Runarsson, Cedric, Holding, Elneny, Nelson, Lacazette, Nketiah.

Wolverhampton Wanderers starting XI: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Marcal; Semedo, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neto; Traore, Jimenez, Podence.

Wolverhampton Wanderers substitutes: Ruddy, Hoever, Ait-Nouri, Neves, Sivla, Vitinha, Kilman.

Arsenal appear to be going with a 4-3-3 again, as Bernd Leno starts in goal behind a back four of Hector Bellerin, David Luiz, Gabriel Magalhaes and Kieran Tierney.

It’s a midfield three of Granit Xhaka, Dani Ceballos and Joe Willock, supporting Willian, Bukayo Saka and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in attack.

That means Reiss Nelson is only on the bench despite calls for him to start, alongside Runar Runarsson, Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Mohamed Elneny, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah.

Wolverhampton Wanderers go with Rui Patricio in goal, whilst Nuno Espirito Santo has gone back to a three-man defence of Willy Boly, Conor Coady and Marcal.

Nelson Semedo and Pedro Neto are the very attack-minded wing-backs tonight, with Joao Moutinho and Leander Dendoncker in the heart of midfield.

Adama Traore and Daniel Podence feature out wide, supporting Raul Jimenez in the Wolves attack this evening.

Ruben Neves is only on the bench, joining John Ruddy, Ki-Jana Hoever, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Fabio Silva, Vitinha and Max Kilman.
