Arsenal face Wolves at Molineux

Saka impressed in a new No10 role in Sunday’s 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan and Arteta has said the change of position could become more regular.
Martin Odegaard has been ruled out of the trip to Molineux with a knee problem and Kai Havertz is still out.
The pair could both return in time for the north London derby against Tottenham on Sunday, but this match comes too soon and Arteta has, therefore, turned to Saka to fill in.

This allows Noni Madueke, who has scored three goals in his last five appearances, to keep his place on the right wing.
Riccardo Calafiori pulled out of the warm-up ahead of the Wigan match but is back on the bench alongside Ben White who went off late in the FA Cup victory, but Arteta confirmed that the defender is in contention to feature at Molineux.
"He did a lot in the game and by the end of it he was feeling a bit of tightness in the hamstring, but he's fine," Arteta said.
