Wolves travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, and Nuno Espirito Santo must make just one change to his starting XI.
This is Wolves’ second match in succession against north London opposition, with Nuno’s side falling just short of an incredible comeback in a 3-2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.
Opponents Arsenal are coming in on the back of a 1-1 draw against top-four rivals Liverpool, with the Gunners now unbeaten since mid-August in all competitions.
In goal, Rui Patricio must retain his place as normal.
In defence, the usual back three of Ryan Bennett, Conor Coady and Willy Boly must also remain in place.
Jonny Castro and Matt Doherty must also keep their spots at wing-back, with both players offering Wolves width in attacking areas.
In midfield, Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho must retain their places despite an impressive cameo from youngster Morgan Gibbs-White, with the Portuguese duo just having the experience necessary in a big game like this.
The only change must come in attack, with the wasteful ever-present Helder Costa axed in place of Adama Traore, who offers express pace on the counter against an Arsenal defence which can fold under pressure.
Ivan Cavaleiro and Raul Jimenez must both keep their spots alongside Traore in an attacking force which can do some damage.
All in all this is a Wolves XI which can stun Arsenal if they put in a good performance at the Emirates, with Nuno’s side performing well against the big teams so far this season.
