Arsenal cannot afford to lose further ground in their bid to haul in Liverpool in the title race, while Wolves desperately need points in their battle against relegation.

Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Champions League - Gunners handed huge double injury boost as they look to take big step towards the last 16

Arsenal have had less time than Manchester United to prepare for Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie at Emirates Stadium. Will Mikel Arteta risk changing his team?

Arsenal look to make it two home wins in a row when Aston Villa and former manager, Unai Emery, come to town.

Riccardo Calafiori remains unavailable. The Italian defender has missed each of the last three games due to injury and, while the Gunners boss Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that the club were still checking on the fitness of a few players, Calafiori has missed out.

Alongside the defeat to Ruben Amorim's visitors, Arteta also lost Gabriel Jesus to a first-half knee injury, with the Brazilian facing an extended spell on the sidelines. Jesus will join Bukayo Saka on the list of absentees with Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Takehiro Tomiyasu all at least another two weeks away from a return.

Arsenal have Jurrien Timber fit to start for tonight’s Premier League clash with Tottenham, with Raheem Sterling also in the side. Timber came off during Sunday’s defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup, but Mikel Arteta has confirmed that was due to cramp, as it was with midfielder Jorginho.

Arsenal are still battling a number of injury issues as they prepare to return to Premier League action against Wolves this weekend. After Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, the Gunners returned to winning ways with a comfortable victory over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
