TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta has made two changes to the Arsenal team that drew at Molineux on Wednesday.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen Gabriel not push someone when he’s going up for header. Seems rich for him to win a foul for that of all people!

        Not sure they are.
        Takes a special kind of person to man handle someone injured the way Martinelli did to Connor Bradley.
