Molineux will host Wolves vs Arsenal

Arsenal return to action after the winter break against a Wolves side that would go ahead of their visitors with a win.

Molineux hosts a fixture originally due to be held on 28 December which was postponed after Covid positives within Bruno Lage’s squad.

Having lost to Norwich in weekend cup action, Lage and Wolves will be hoping to return to the Premier League with a win that would further evidence their position as contenders for a European place.

Mikel Arteta’s side are yet to win a game in 2022.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the fixture:

Bruno Lage is again facing problems on the wing, though Francisco Trincao could return for Wolves after missing their FA Cup defeat having contracted Covid. Pedro Neto is injured, and Hwang Hee-chan is unlikely to be in contention for selection after the winger’s return to training was delayed last week. Hwang, who signed a permanent deal at the club in January, had been in strong form before picking up an injury in December.

That may mean the Portuguese again favours a 3-5-2, with Raul Jimenez likely to return to the starting side. Romain Saiss is also available again having been given the weekend off after his return from the Africa Cup of Nations.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is an injury doubt for Arsenal, which may afford Cedric Soares a starting chance – Ben White started at right-back in the final game before the winter break and will presumably return to a central role. In midfield, Mohamed Elneny’s exertions in Egypt’s AFCON unsuccessful efforts likely leave him a game away from a return, but Granit Xhaka is available after suspension and could partner Thomas Partey, who was also serving a ban.

Predicted line-ups

Wolves: Jose Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Semedo, Neves, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Aït-Nouri; Podence, Jimenez.

Arsenal: Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Lacazette.

Odds

Wolves win: 27/10

Draw: 9/4

Arsenal win: 5/4
