Wolves tend to play better against top-six sides, as demonstrated by their 2-0 away win over Manchester City last month, and the Gunners have been far from convincing of late. Can they end what has been a turbulent week on a high? Team news is on the way next.

The players are in the tunnel, with Aubameyang to lead the Gunners out as skipper today. Both teams lost in the cup in midweek, but here's hoping this game is half as exciting as Arsenal's crazy one against Liverpool.

Standing between Wolves and that achievement is a defence that hasn't been all too convincing this season. Arsenal have kept five clean sheets in 15 games - by contrast, Wolves have kept seven in 21.

Wolves have never scored in 10 consecutive Premier League games before, but could do so today. Their current run of scoring in nine in a row is bettered only by Liverpool.

Here’s what Xhaka has been up to today.

The elephant is the room today is Xhaka. The Arsenal captain has been left out of then squad by Emery after his angry reaction to being booed by his own supporters last weekend. According to his manager, Xhaka “needs time to recover the normality in him.” However, you do have to wonder whether leaving him out of then squad is just going to make his return a bigger deal than it needs to be.

As for the visitors, they are unchanged from their last Premier League match. Adama Traore, who has often worked well as an impact substitute, starts opposite the underrated Diogo Jota. Leander Dendoncker will presumably continue in central defence.
WOLVES: Patricio, Doherty, Dendoncker, Coady, Saiss, Jonny, Moutinho, Neves, Traore, Jota, Jimenez. Subs: Ruddy, Neto, Cutrone, Gibbs-White, Perry, Vinagre, Kilman.

The headline news is that Mesut Ozil starts! He's one of two changes from the team that drew with Crystal Palace last season, as Lucas Torreira also comes into the side. Nicolas Pepe, who is on the bench, and Granit Xhaka, who is not, drop out. It's only Ozil's second league appearance of the season.
ARSENAL: Leno, Chambers, Luiz, Sokratis, Tierney, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ceballos, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette. Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Willock, Martinelli, Saka, Pepe.
