Full Arsenal squad for Premier League clash vs Wolves revealed as Bukayo Saka could return

Arsenal will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League this evening.

The Gunners are back in action three days after a goalless draw at home to Manchester United as they take on a Wolves side who won the reverse meeting between the two sides earlier in the season.

However, Nuno Espirito Santo's team aren't in the best of form with their only wins in 10 across all competitions coming in the FA Cup, meaning this could be the perfect opportunity for Arsenal to gain a measure of revenge.

Whilst much of Mikel Arteta's pre-match press conference was dominated by transfer deadline day, the Gunners boss did reflect on how far his side have come since losing 2-1 at home to Wolves back in November.

"Well definitely the results are much better. We improved a lot and got many more points from our games," Arteta told reporters. "It was a tough game back then.

"We started the game a little bit slow. We conceded the goal, we scored a goal, we dominated the game but we conceded a goal in one of the counter-attacks.

"We're expecting a tough game, they're a side who have improved so much a lot over the years, who have picked up some great results against the big teams so it would be a good test for us."

Ahead of this evening's clash against Wolves, Arteta will be without at least one first-team player as January loan signing Mat Ryan misses out as per a hip injury.

With that said, there are five players whom the Arsenal manager will make a late decision on including captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who returned to full training after a personal leave of absence.

Although, the 31-year-old has been and the Gunners are yet to confirm whether he's cleared protocols to play.

Bukayo Saka has returned to full training after missing the draw against United, as has defender Pablo Mari, while Dani Ceballos and Kieran Tierney will be assessed.

With that in mind, Arteta has reported no other fresh injury concerns following the Man United game and is set to have a similar squad available to him at Molineux Stadium.
