Team News and Match Context
Wolves enter this match sitting bottom of the Premier League table with just nine points, though they earned a credible 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest in their previous outing. Manager Rob Edwards will be without injured duo Hwang Hee-chan and Toti Gomes, though Andre could feature in the squad.
Arsenal arrive following a disappointing draw at Brentford last Thursday, which saw their lead at the top of the table reduced to just four points ahead of Manchester City. The Gunners face significant injury concerns with captain Martin Odegaard and defender Riccardo Calafiori both doubtful for the tie. Ben White, Mikel Merino and Kai Havertz have all been ruled out of the clash entirely.
This match represents a crucial opportunity for Arsenal to maintain their title challenge against opposition fighting for Premier League survival, creating an intriguing tactical battle between two managers with contrasting objectives for the remainder of the season.
