Mikel Arteta has made seven changes to his side for tonight’s game at Wolves, with Viktor Gyokeres joining Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in attack.
Having made a number of switches for our FA Cup fourth round win against Wigan Athletic on Sunday, the boss has shuffled his pack once again as we return to league action, hoping to go seven points clear at the top.
Having been rested on the weekend, David Raya and Jurrien Timber replace Kepa Arrizabalaga and Ben White, while Gabriel and Piero Hincapie also return to our backline.
Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi are back in midfield, while Gyokeres is named up front. That means only William Saliba, Saka, Madueke and Martinelli are named in the side for the second time in succession.
In terms of league games, three switches have been made since the 1-1 draw at Brentford, when Ebere Eze, Cristhian Mosquera and Leandro Trossard started. All three are the bench again tonight, as is Riccardo Calafiori who has recovered from the pre-match injury he sustained against Wigan.
