Arsenal’s clash with Wolves is one that will go a long way in determining whether Unai Emery’s men will finish in the top 4 this season. A much-changed side with the likes of Carl Jenkinson and Mohamed Elneny lost in Arsenal’s last Premier League fixture the Emirates against Crystal Palace. On Wednesday, Unai Emery cannot afford such gambles and will have to go with his strongest line up. Below is his best line up from the players available for selection.
Defence
Bernd Leno must start in goal and will not want to see Mustafi anywhere near him after what happened on Sunday. Ahead of Leno should be Maintland Niles at right back, with the speedy Kolasinac over on the left back position. Soktartis is back from his 2 match suspension and should partner Laurent Koscielny at the heart of the defense.
Midfield
Granit Xhaka missed the loss to Palace with a hip injury but he is expected to be back for Wolves. His partnership with Lucas Torreira has been Arsenal’s best combination this season thus should be the case against Wolves. Mesut Ozil might come in as the number 10 but Henrik Mikhitaryan can also fill in that role.
Attack
Alex Iwobi is a sure starter on the left wing while Alexander Lacazette starts as the main striker with Aubamenyang out on the right but can still come inside to support Lacazette as he did for his brilliant goal against Palace on Sunday.
Arsenal’s line up; Leno, Niles, Kolasinac, Koscielny, Sokratis, Xhaka, Torreira, Ozil, Iwobi, Lacazette, Aubameyang
