Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Arsenal vs Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday, live on Sky Sports (kick-off 7.15pm).
Arsenal will be without the suspended Nicolas Pepe for Sunday's Premier League visit of Wolves.
The winger was sent off in last weekend's draw at Leeds and misses out - with midfielder Thomas Partey also unlikely to feature due to a thigh problem.
Willian (calf) is hoping to be available, while both Mohamed Elneny and Sead Kolasinac are in contention following positive Covid-19 tests during the international break. Forward Gabriel Martinelli (knee) remains sidelined.
Captain Conor Coady will return to the Wolves squad after missing his first league game in over three years.
The defender sat out Monday's 1-1 draw with Southampton as he self-isolated after coming into contact with someone who had coronavirus, falling eight short of Phil Parkes' club record of 127 straight league appearances.
Romain Saiss is out of the trip having tested positive for Covid-19 and is still self-isolating, while Jonny is not expected back until next year as he recovers from a serious knee injury.

It's all gone a bit Unai Emery for Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal are playing with no cohesion, the boss does not know his best XI, especially in forward areas and it has been 476 minutes since they scored Premier League goal from open play. This means you could have boarded a plane to New York, landed at the other end, and Arsenal still would not have scored in that period. I simply cannot have a home win on my mind with Wolves in town when assessing the prices.
I am always keen to keep Nuno's team on my side when they travel to a so-called big-six team, bar Man City or Liverpool.
Since promotion, in eight trips to Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal, they have only been on the end of a defeat just once. They have the ability to suck the life out of games, then strike when the opportunity arises. The last two meetings at The Emirates between these two ended level - a repeat scenario could be on the cards.
