Arsenal travel to face Wolves on Wednesday evening as they turn their attention back to the Premier League.

The Gunners tasted victory in the FA Cup in their last outing as a dominant performance saw them defeat Wigan Athletic 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Well-taken finishes from Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, and an own goal, fired their side into the fifth round.

As his side are presented with the opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the table, Mikel Arteta will likely field a strong lineup, but there could be room for a recent experiment to continue.

Here's how the Arsenal starting XI could look for their trip to Wolves.

Goalkeeper & Defenders

David Raya (GK) - After being given a rest for the weekend's FA Cup game, he will return to the starting lineup for this one.

Jurrien Timber (RB) - Like the Spaniard, he didn't play against Wigan, but he will come back into the side on Wednesday and will be hoping to put in a better performance than his showing against Brentford.

William Saliba (CB) - He made his return from illness in the cup and will continue in the defence at Molineux.

Gabriel Magalhaes (CB) - Yet another player to be allowed some respite during the cup action, he will come back in for the trip to the West Midlands.

Piero Hincapié (LB) - Riccardo Calafiori is expected to be fit after withdrawing from the starting lineup at the weekend, but Hincapié will be the one to start at left back.


Midfielders

Martín Zubimendi (CM) - He will return to the base of midfield with his involvement likely to be key as he looks to contribute in multiple ways like he has recently.

Declan Rice (CM) - The formation change will see him start slightly deeper in the midfield, but he will still play a similar role to usual.

Bukayo Saka (AM) - A late switch saw him play in an advanced midfield role against Wigan and Arteta could opt to continue this experiment at Molineux.


Forwards

Noni Madueke (RW) - His impressive recent form is enough to see him keep hold of the right wing position over Saka so he should start this test.

Viktor Gyökeres (ST) - He will return as the starting striker and will be eager to get back on the scoresheet after failing to find the back of the net in his last two games.

Leandro Trossard (LW) - Despite Gabriel Martinelli's positive scoring form, the Belgian will take back the starting spot on the left flank.
