Wolves to recover from FA Cup defeat

The match will be played at Molineux Stadium and the hosts come into this round of fixtures in 8th place on 34 points while the visitors are in 6th place on 36 points.

Wolves come into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home in the FA Cup against Norwich City. Bruno Lage made a few changes to his starting XI, including the goalkeeper, but that is no excuse for losing the match.

The FA Cup defeat was the first loss for Wolves in 7 fixtures in all competitions. They had won each of their previous four games including wins over Manchester United and Brentford away plus Southampton at home in the Premier League. There was also a home victory against Sheffield United in the FA Cup.

Form in the Premier League shows Wolves are undefeated in their last five matches. However, despite only losing one of their seven most recent home fixtures in the Premier League, Wolves have recorded just a single victory from their last four league games on home soil

Arsenal make the trip to Molineux Stadium having previously been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Burnley in the Premier League. That result means arsenal have failed to win any of their last five matches in all competitions.

They were eliminated from the FA Cup away from home against Nottingham Forest and having held Liverpool to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the League Cup at Anfield, Arsenal lost the second leg 2-0 at home. The Gunners were also defeated at home in the Premier League by Manchester City.

Away form in the Premier League shows Arsenal have won each of their last two games, comfortably beating Leeds United and Norwich City. However, they have lost three of their last five on the road, with the defeats coming at Liverpool, Manchester United, and Everton.

Wolves to recover from FA Cup defeat

Team news and Wolves have four players on the treatment table, with Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera, Pedro Neto, and Jonny missing out.

Arsenal are expected to be without full-back Takehiro Tomiyasu due to a calf injury but Cedric Soares could be fit to take his place in the team.
