Home comforts: Arsenal are unbeaten at the Emirates Stadium this season
A third game in a week sees Arsenal return to Premier League action against Wolves tonight. The Gunners saw their lead at the summit cut to two points after their unbeaten run was ended by Aston Villa seven days ago, though they did bounce back in midweek with victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League and are now expected to swat away the division's bottom side.
Mikel Arteta was rather coy in yesterday's pre-match press conference regarding fitness updates on Declan Rice, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber and Leandro Trossard, so it remains to be seen if any of the quartet are able to feature tonight. However, Gabriel, Cristhian Mosquera, Kai Havertz and Max Dowman are all ruled out for the league leaders.
The visitors, meanwhile, are remarkably still without a league win this season and have lost their last eight games in a row, scoring just once during this difficult period.

Arsenal team news: Rice and Saliba doubtful
The Gunners will hope to have Declan Rice back in the team after the midfielder missed the win over Club Brugge through illness.
William Saliba has now missed the last four games and is a doubt alongside Leandro Trossard who sustained a fresh knock in the defeat to Aston Villa.
Jurrien Timber faces a late fitness test after sitting out the win in Bruges, with youngster Marli Salmon on standby if the Dutchman fails to recover from the kick he suffered at Villa Park.
Riccardo Calafiori is suspended which means Myles Lewis-Skelly is set to keep his place at left-back, but Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Cristhian Mosquera and Max Dowman are all out injured.
