Both Mikel Merino and Odegaard miss out completely, so Gabriel will take the captain\u2019s armband. It\u2019s also the big Brazilian defender\u2019s 199th appearance for the North London side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking shortly before kick-off, Arteta confirmed, \"Martin was ill this morning and we had to send him back -- he was nowhere near fit to play. Mikel as well, because he got a knock and couldn\u2019t make it yesterday for training.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
William Saliba is back in the starting lineup to face Wolves after missing the Gunners\u2019 last two matches with a slight injury which is a huge boost for the side. Since the start of 2022-23, Arsenal have conceded just 0.8 goals per game when William Saliba starts, compared to 1.7 when he doesn\u2019t. The Gunners have kept just two clean sheets in their 13 games without the Frenchman starting in this run.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Myles Lewis-Skelly returns at left-back after missing out in midweek, while fellow Hale End product Ethan Nwaneri is also in the lineup. It\u2019s his first start since scoring away to Brighton at the start of the year, though he did come on against Dinamo in midweek. Thomas Partey and Leandro Trossard are the other two players coming into the side after they were used from the bench on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Line-ups:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Nwaneri, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
