Arsenal's Predicted Line-up against Wolves

Defense: Hector Bellerin, Shkodran Mustafi, Rob Holding, Sead Kolasinac

Mustafi would want to cut out the errors from his game

The only point of contention in the back-line would have been Mustafi’s place. While the German has all the attributes to succeed as a Premier League center-back, he is extremely error-prone, thus making him a liability at times.

Over the past few weeks, Sokratis’ injury has meant that Mustafi has continued alongside Holding. However, in mid-week, Sokratis turned in a commanding display against Sporting Lisbon, leading many to believe that Sokratis could make his first league appearance since limping off against Everton. While Sokratis and Holding could be the ideal combination moving forward, Emery would not want to risk the Greek after his injury history.

The other spot up for debate is the left-back slot with Kolasinac and Monreal fighting for the said position. Though Monreal is back in training, the game against Wolves might just have come a little too early. With the Gunners short-handed in the fullback zone, a recurrence of an injury is the last thing Emery would want.

Arsenal started the Liverpool game with the same back-four and they kept the Liverpool attackers relatively quiet throughout. With Wolves not presenting as much a threat as their Merseyside counterparts, Emery is likely to continue with the same combination.
