Arsenal host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday, in the last game before the final international break of 2018.
A number of players will head off with their countries in mid-November, so this is Arsenal’s final chance to pick up some points ahead of a difficult end of the year, which includes matches against Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs (twice).
As a result, we expect Unai Emery to go as strong as possible to leave the squad and the fans feeling good over the break.
Let’s have a look at our predicted lineup for the clash.

Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira were the stars of the show in Arsenal’s comeback draw against Liverpool last weekend. As impressive as Matteo Guendouzi has been this season, that duo looks difficult to break up right now.
Mohamed Elneny is still out injured, so there’s no chance of his first Premier League appearance of the season coming this weekend.
Mesut Özil will be favoured over Aaron Ramsey in the number 10 position, as he has been for the majority of the league campaign so far. The German has played significantly better with Xhaka and Torreira feeding him the ball than with any other pairing behind him, so they make a good midfield trio.
