Mikel Arteta has opted to make three changes to his starting line-up for today’s game against Wolves, with Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior coming into the side.

After starting Wednesday’s loss at Bayern Munich on the bench, the trio all come into the side, with Gabriel Martinelli and Jorginho being replacements, while Takehiro Tomiyasu drops out of the matchday squad after picking up a knock on Wednesday and has been left out as a precaution.

Jesus has scored six goals in nine Premier League appearances against Wolves, only netting more often in the competition against Everton (8) and Leicester City (7).

As for the hosts, Gary O’Neil has made four alterations from his side that drew 2-2 with Nottingham Forest a week ago.

Matheus Cunha scored both their goals that day but is out with a calf injury sustained in that game, while Nelson Semedo also suffered the same fate and is also missing.

That sees Hwang Hee-Chan start up front and Hugo Bueno replace the right-back, while Tawanda Chirewa and Boubacar Traore also come in in place of Pablo Sarabia and Mario Lemina.

Wolves: Sa, S. Bueno, Toti, Kilman, H. Bueno, Traore, Gomes, Doyle, Doherty, Chirewa, Hwang.
Subs: Bentley, Ait-Nouri, Okoduwa, Lemina, Ojinnaka, Barnett, Fraser, Sarabia.

Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Rice, Havertz, Odegaard, Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
Subs: Ramsdale, Zinchenko, Partey, Jorginho, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Martinelli, Nketiah.
