Arsenal XI vs Wolves: Confirmed team news, lineup, latest injuries for Premier League today

Mikel Arteta is still trying to solve his biggest problem at Arsenal as they host Wolves this evening.

The Gunners have scored only once in their last five league games - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's penalty which gave them a 1-0 win at Manchester United earlier this month.

The poor run has left them down in 12th place and with Arteta under increasing pressure.

A visit to face a Wolves defence that has conceded only three goals in the last six suggests life is not about to get any easier.

Playing Aubameyang through the middle did not seem to help, despite many fans calling for such a move all season - but it appears as though the captain will lead the line once again.

Reiss Nelson impressed in the Europa League, but is only on the bench here despite Nicolas Pepe’s suspension.

Further back, David Luiz sustained a knock against Molde but is fit to start alongside Gabriel.

Thomas Partey continues to struggle with fitness, so Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos are holding the fort in the centre.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Willian, Willock, Saka, Aubameyang

Subs: Lacazette, Runarsson, Holding, Cedric, Nelson, Elneny, Nketiah

Wolves XI: Rui Patricio, Nelson Semedo, Coady, Boly, Marcal, Dendoncker, Joao Moutinho, Traore, Daniel Podence, Pedro Neto, Jimenez

Subs: Hoever, Ait Nouri, Neves, Silva, Vitinha, Ruddy, Kilman

Injured: Gabriel Martinelli (knee), Pablo Mari (ankle)
