Arsenal will be desperate to avenge their loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the season when they take on the West Midlands outfit at Molineux on Tuesday evening.

Mikel Arteta's side fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Wolves in November - a game that was marred by the sickening collision between David Luiz and Raul Jimenez - but the two teams have gone in opposite directions since then.

The Gunners could not find a way past Manchester United in a 0-0 draw at the weekend, but that result extended their unbeaten run in the league to seven matches as they sit 10th in the table.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the Gunners could line up for the contest.

Out: Kieran Tierney (calf), Mat Ryan (hip)
Doubtful: Dani Ceballos (calf), Bukayo Saka (hip), Pablo Mari (calf), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (quarantine)

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang recently revealed that his reason for absence was to help take care of his unwell mother, and even though the Gunners captain is now back in the UK and training with the team, he is unlikely to be ready for Tuesday's game.

As a result, Alexandre Lacazette is set to continue up top after he reassured fans that he was OK following a nasty fall in the dying embers of Saturday's draw.

Bukayo Saka, who scored the opener in this fixture last season, missed out the draw with United due to a hip problem, but his absence was only precautionary and he is expected to be in contention - and potentially start - at Molineux.

Nicolas Pepe has looked dangerous since being reintroduced to the starting lineup and could be given the nod on the left if Saka moves out to the right, with Arteta confirming that Gabriel Martinelli was swapped for Willian at half time on Saturday for tactical reasons.

In the middle of the Gunners' attacking quartet, Emile Smith Rowe is due a rest at some point and may be granted it here, meaning that Martin Odegaard could make his first start in Arsenal colours since arriving on loan from Real Madrid.

Kieran Tierney failed a late fitness test ahead of the Red Devils stalemate and will not be back in time for this one either, so Cedric Soares will likely continue on that side after a number of assured performances.

In the heart of Arteta's defence, Rob Holding and David Luiz are expected to keep Gabriel Magalhaes out of the team once again after nullifying Man United's attackers at the weekend, but Pablo Mari is back in full training and could provide another option for the Gunners.
