Arsenal take on Wolves at Molineux tonight knowing victory would move us to within one point of the top four.

Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal once again but Bernd Leno misses out after testing positive for covid so Okonkwo is on the bench. Kieran Tierney keeps his place at left-back ahead of Nuno Tavares.

Takehiro Tomiyasu isn’t risked despite returning to training from a calf injury this week. Cedric Soares is fit to start at right-back so Ben White moves into the middle of defence alongside Gabriel.

Mikel Arteta has been boosted by the return of Thomas Partey and Granit Xhaka after they completed their suspensions. Both players are recalled to start in midfield for Arsenal this evening.

Bukayo Saka starts on the right wing while Gabriel Martinelli keeps his place on the left flank. Alexandre Lacazette leads the line up front so Emile Smith Rowe has to settle for a place on the bench.

Nicolas Pepe is back in the Arsenal squad after returning from the African Cup of Nations, but he has to make do with a place among the substitutes.

Albert Sambi Lokonga, Mo Elneny, Eddie Nkeitah and Rob Holding are also among the subs this evening.

These are the teams for the game:
