Mikel Arteta has made two changes to his Arsenal team which drew 0-0 at Leeds United last weekend for the visit of Wolves, as the Gunners go in search of their first Premier League victory at Emirates Stadium since October 4.
Bukayo Saka replaces Nicholas Pepe in the front three as the Ivory Coast international serves the first game of his three-match suspension following his needless red card at Elland Road. The other change is David Luiz taking the place of Rob Holding in the back four.
Joe Willock continues in the playmaker role for the Gunners after playing 57 minutes against Leeds but there is no place in the XI for Reiss Nelson after impressing against Molde in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Alexandre Lacazette also missed out for a second straight Premier League game with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang expected to continue through the middle of the attack.
Bukayo Saka is also cleared to play after concerns over a dead leg and he and Willian will join Aubameyang in the front three.
Mohamed Elneny returns to the matchday squad after a positive Covid-19 test on international duty and takes his place on the bench.
It's exactly a year to do the day since Unai Emery was dismissed with Arteta in need of a strong attacking performance to quell some of the lingering doubts about his approach.
Arsenal (4-3-3): Leno; Bellerin, Gabriel, Luiz, Tierney; Ceballos, Xhaka, Willock; Willian, Aubameyang, Saka; Substitutes: Runarsson, Cedric, Holding, Elneny, Nelson, Lacazette, Nketiah
