Tonight, Arsenal FC travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table.

However, Mikel Arteta may be forced to do without several crucial players. Martin Ødegaard is confirmed out. Riccardo Calafiori remains a doubt, Kai Havertz is expected to return this weekend, while Mikel Merino and Max Dowman continue their recovery.

These absences could make the Gunners’ task even tougher as they look to widen the gap with second-placed Manchester City FC.
