Wolves confirmed XI vs Arsenal as Joao Gomes’ return one of three changes

Wolves face a tricky tie away at the Emirates vs Arsenal, and Rob Edwards’ starting XI has just come through.

The Old Gold are massive underdogs, and they will be looking to complete a major upset in the Premier League.

Arsenal were coming into the game with a few doubts, but all four of those concerns are in the Gunners squad.

Wolves have injury concerns of their own. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde’s injury is a big blow after such promising displays for the Wanderers.

That has left Edwards with a couple of decisions to make regarding his lineup, and those decisions have now been confirmed.

Wolves confirmed XI to face Arsenal

After a heavy defeat to Manchester United, Rob Edwards will be looking to avoid the same against the Gunners.

However, in this David vs Goliath clash, that might prove tricky. Joao Gomes’ suspension has ended, so it is no surprise to see him return instantly to the starting XI.

And the Brazilian is one of three changes for the Old Gold.

Sam Johnstone is between the sticks, to no surprise. Meanwhile in defence, Yerson Mosquera retains his place alongside Emmanuel Agbadou and captain Toti Gomes.

One of the changes to Manchester United is Matt Doherty replacing Ki-Jana Hoever at right wing-back.

Meanwhile, David Moller Wolfe retains his place as left wing-back.

Joao Gomes returns from suspension, replacing the injured Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, with Ladislav Krejci keeping his place in midfield. Andre also keeps his spot in the middle.

Hwang Hee-chan starts his first game for Rob Edwards with Jhon Arias benched, and up alongside him is Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Wolves must be brave vs Arsenal

There are no expectations for Wolves to get a result at the Emirates, so for that reason, they must play without fear.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has insisted before that the players are not scared, and they need to show that tonight.

A result in a fixture like this could go a long way to giving the Wanderers confidence, and with a confident Wolves, you never know what they can achieve.

Wolves will not get many chances, but they will have to capitalise on any scraps they can carve out. The forwards have not been firing, and now is the time to change that.

Let’s pull off something special!
