Latest Arsenal vs Wolverhampton team news
Arsenal have improved significantly in terms of discipline this season – they are currently at the top of the Premier League's fair-play table – but Riccardo Calafiori will be suspended this weekend due to accumulated yellow cards.
The Italian defender is one of six players expected to be absent from Arsenal's squad, along with Max Dowman (ankle), Cristhian Mosquera (ankle), Leandro Trossard (collision), Gabriel Magalhaes (thigh), and Kai Havertz (knee). Declan Rice (illness), William Saliba (collision), and Jurrien Timber (collision) require further examination.
On a more positive note, Gabriel Jesus – who suffered a cruciate ligament injury – has returned after 11 months and is showing more threat than Viktor Gyokeres. However, the Swedish striker is still expected to retain his starting spot.
On Wolves' side, midfielder Joao Gomes returns after serving a yellow card suspension, and his return could push Yerson Mosquera out of the lineup, as Ladislav Krejci moves back to play centre-back.
Edwards is concerned about Bellegarde's condition – who left the pitch with an unspecified injury in the defeat to Man Utd. Rodrigo Gomes (groin), Marshall Munetsi (calf), Leon Chiwone (knee) and Daniel Bentley (ankle) are all confirmed absent.
Fer Lopez is a strong candidate to replace Bellegarde if he is unavailable. Additionally, Edwards could also field Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolo Arokodare as a strike partnership to increase their attacking options.
Latest predicted lineups for Arsenal vs Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Johnstone; Krejci, Agbadou, Toti; Tchatchoua, Gomes, Andre, Wolfe; Lopez; Arokodare, Strand Larsen
Latest Arsenal vs Wolverhampton football match prediction
A former Arsenal manager and a former Arsenal transfer target shook hands, damaging the Gunners' title hopes last weekend, as Unai Emery's Aston Villa ended the Premier League leaders' 18-match unbeaten run across all competitions – and in a very painful way.
After a failed attempt to clear the ball in the chaotic situation in front of the goal, Arsenal players and fans could only watch helplessly as Emiliano Buendia curled the ball into the net in injury time, causing Mikel Arteta and his team to angrily slam their hands on the grass.
Both Villa and Manchester City are currently close behind Arsenal in the Premier League table. This means the North London side could drop to third place if the results this weekend are unfavorable, although claims that they are "hesitant to let the title slip away" have been refuted.
However, without two key defenders, Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, Arsenal lost their usual solidity; they conceded six goals in their last five Premier League matches, after having conceded only three in the first 10 rounds of the season.
However, Arteta's defense held firm in a comfortable 3-0 Champions League win against Club Brugge midweek, and the home side have also won their last four Premier League games at the Emirates Stadium, where they remain unbeaten this season.
Arsenal losing that home record on Saturday night would be a huge shock, as Rob Edwards' Wolves are on track to become the worst team in Premier League history.
With only two points from 15 games – an average of 0.13 points per game – Wolves are on track to finish the season with just five points, a figure that would shatter Derby County's forgettable 11-point record in the 2007–08 season.
Their ninth consecutive defeat came on Monday night, when Jean-Ricner Bellegarde's equalizer against Man Utd proved only temporary. Bruno Fernandes then inspired a resurgence from the Red Devils, leaving Wolves 13 points clear of safety.
Many fans arrived late to the stadium amid escalating protests against the club's management. However, Wolves still had two small reasons to be optimistic: firstly, their only away point this season came from a London match against Tottenham Hotspur; and secondly, only four times in Premier League history have the bottom team beaten the top team, but Wolves accounted for two of those instances – beating Manchester United in 2004 and 2011 when they were 20th in the table.
However, the visiting team – who are almost certainly relegated – are on a run of eight consecutive defeats against Arsenal, who have also scored in 35 of their last 35 matches against Wolves in all competitions. Therefore, no one can blame the Wolves fans if they consider this match "already decided."
