Formation: 4-3-3
GOALKEEPER
Rui Patricio: Since Wolves play five men at the back, it will be tough to break their defense for the opponents. The Portuguese International has kept seven clean sheets in the Premier League campaign and will hope for the same in the forthcoming day also. He possesses a good shot-stopping method coupled with good reading of the game.
DEFENDERS

Greece International is a leader in the back and stabilizes the backline with consistent orders. He is not known for his scoring abilities, but his defensive astuteness at the back makes himself indispensable for Arsenal currently.
Willy Boly: Willy Boly is an integral part of Nuno Santo’s setup having made 32 appearances this season, missing the other two via suspension. He is physical and has the capability to muscle out players to win duels in the backline. Besides, he has found the back of the net four times which makes him a threat from the set pieces.
Nacho Monreal: Nacho Monreal saw his side go down to Crystal Palace from the bench. However, he is anticipated to be reinstated in the starting eleven following a calamitous outing from Shkodran Mustafi. The Spanish International is an ever-reliant contributor with goals. He has set up three and scored once throughout this season.
Sead Kolasinac: Since Unai Emery operates with three centre-backs, the defensive burden for Sead Kolasinac will be less. The Bosnian likes to make overlapping runs by providing width to the midfielders and attackers. He has five assists to his name and could torment the opponent full-back, Doherty, who is not sound defensively.
MIDFIELDERS

He makes plenty of forward runs with his nimble feet and interlinks with the attackers. He has three goals and four assists this term.
Ruben Neves: Ruben Neves is the anchor for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the middle of the park. The Portuguese International likes to sit back with the defense and act as the guitarist for the hosts. Having already found the back of the net thrice and assisting twice, Neves is the prime set piece taker and releases long rangers for fun.
Lucas Torreira: Lucas Torreira has been slightly on the slower side in recent weeks, but he has the talent to up his gear when required. The Gunners midfielder plays double pivot with another defensive midfielder, but he has the license to roam forward. He has 44 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring on two occasions and finding his teammate on two occasions.
FORWARDS
Diogo Jota: It took time for Diogo Jota to adapt to the Premier League, but he has done with plum with his strike partner up front. He has scored seven goals and has four assists to his name this campaign. Besides, he does the defensive part of the game by tracking back with the midfielders and full-backs.
Raul Jimenez (C): Raul Jimenez, who is on loan from Benfica has impressed Nuno Santo to warrant a place in the starting lineup. Jimenez has made 19 goal contributions this season, scoring 12 and setting up his teammates on seven occasions. It has been a great season for the Mexican who is deadly in front of the goal.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (VC): Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will need supply from the players around him. But, he is anticipated to work hard to win plenty of duels up front and create many chances for himself because of the opponent’s defensive resilience. He can win headers which makes him an automatic threat possesser from the set pieces.
