The Arsenal train continues to march on, with a historic 2025/26 quadruple still a possibility. On February 18, Arsenal return to Premier League action, travelling to Molineux to face bottom-of-the-league Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Gunners are four points clear of their nearest challengers, Manchester City. Last time out, Arteta made expected changes as the Gunners brushed aside Wigan, 4-0, in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Mikel Arteta’s team will be aiming to strengthen their grip on the league title with a vital three points against Wolves. Here is the Wolves vs Arsenal confirmed lineups and latest team news.

At the pre-match press conference, Edwards discussed the strain being felt by some players:
“There’s a few that are feeling it, I don’t want to go into detail on who. We’ll make a couple of changes anyway, and maybe a few others.”
Hwang Hee-chan is still training on his own, so he is unlikely to be fit for this fixture. Toti Gomes will be back for the weekend, but will miss the visit of Arsenal.
