Goalkeeper and Defence

GK – David Raya – did a decent job at the Allianz Arena, although there was that one scare with Gabriel’s back pass. He will be hoping for a quiet evening at Molineux.


RB – Ben White – couldn’t get forward as often as he would have liked to in Germany. He will have to provide a few more overlaps to create chances for the Gunners versus Wolves.

CB – William Saliba – kept Harry Kane quiet, which is an achievement in itself, and he will be looking to do a similar job on Matheus Cunha, who scored a brace last time out against Nottingham Forest.

CB – Gabriel – put in an improved performance in Munich, although he did nearly score an own goal with a poor back pass. Like Saliba, he will need to be on his A-game to stop Wolves’ frontline from breaking through.

LB – Takehiro Tomiyasu – the Japanese international didn’t provide much going forward against Bayern but he dealt well with Leroy Sane. That should be enough to keep his place in the lineup this weekend.
