Team News: Leandro Trossard starts for Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers make four changes

Trossard starts for Arsenal, Wolves make four changes

Gary O'Neil has made four changes to his Wolverhampton Wanderers XI for Saturday's Premier League fixture at Arsenal.

For the first time this season, O'Neil has started to encounter injury and suspension issues, with the one benefit from the defeat at Fulham earlier this week being Craig Dawson able to return from a one-match ban for the game at the Emirates Stadium.

However, Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes both picked up their fifth yellow cards of the campaign at Craven Cottage, while Rayan Ait-Nouri sustained an ankle injury.

Dawson has taken the place of Santiago Bueno in the back three, while Hugo Bueno has been brought in to deputise for Ait-Nouri at left wing-back.

Tommy Doyle and Boubacar Traore are given the nod in the centre of midfield, with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde potentially being given licence to roam between that pair and a front two of Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has made just the one alteration to the Arsenal side that breezed past Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Kai Havertz has dropped down to the substitutes' bench with Leandro Trossard being preferred in his place, with the Belgian seemingly being deployed in a central role.

Gabriel Jesus starts in attack for the third game in succession after recovering from a hamstring injury during the international break.

Arsenal: Raya; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Trossard, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli

Subs: Ramsdale, White, Cedric, Kiwior, Jorginho, Elneny, Nelson, Havertz, Nketiah

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Sa; Semedo, Kilman, Dawson, Toti, H. Bueno; Doyle, Traore; Bellegarde, Cunha, Hwang

Subs: Bentley, Doherty, S. Bueno, Silva, Kalajdzic, Sarabia, Chirewa, Whittingham, Hubner
