Riccardo Calafiori Returns To Start | 4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs Wolves | OneFootball

After a frustrating 2-2 draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League, Arsenal bounced back by netting three goals to Dinamo Zagreb to secure their Champions League fixture. Now they will return in the league to face Wolves in an away round.

The Gunners are second on the points table with 44 points after 22 rounds of play. They are still six points off the table-toppers Liverpool and have played a game more. Hence, Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to drop points any further.

Defence

David Raya didn’t have much to do in the Champions League match and he will be ready to don the duties again between the sticks. Jurrien Timber has settled well at the right-back position and he should be retained in the lineup.

It means Jakub Kiwior will be pairing up with Gabriel Magalhaes at the heart of the defence once again. However, Riccardo Calafiori is likely to make his way back at the left-back place replacing Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Midfield

Thomas Partey takes the deep lying midfielder role at the cost of Jorginho. The former will have the companies of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in the middle of the park.

Attack

While Gabriel Martinelli is an easy pick for the right flank role, Kai Havertz also keeps his spot as the number nine in the starting XI.

However, Leandro Trossard is expected to return as the left winger after Raheem Sterling failed to capitalize on the opportunity and make an impact.

William Saliba (hamstring), Gabriel Jesus (knee), Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Ben White (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are confirmed absentees while Myles Lewis-Skelly suffered a knee injury and is doubtful.
