Wolves welcome Premier League title-chasing Arsenal to Molineux in Saturday Night Football.
Victory would see Wolves move up to 10th in the table, whilst Arsenal can go top with a win.
Team News
Rayan Ait-Nouri could feature on the bench for Wolves as he recovers from a calf injury.

Craig Dawson (groin), Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (knee) and Pedro Neto (hamstring) remain absent.
Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns to report after their Champions League loss at Bayern Munich in midweek.
Jurrien Timber (knee) remains sidelined.
When is Kick-Off?
Wolves host Arsenal at Molineux on Saturday 20 April at 7:30pm BST, live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Stat Attack
- Wolves are winless in their last five meetings against Arsenal (L5).
- Arsenal have won three of their last five visits to Wolves at Molineux (W3, L2).
- In each of their last five wins at Wolves, Arsenal have kept a clean sheet on each occasion.
- Max Kilman has made more touches on the ball this season than any other Wolves player, having managed 2,288 touches in 32 league appearances.
- Gabriel and Kai Havertz have won more aerial duels than any other Arsenal player in the league this season, having both won 74 aerial duels apiece.
Prediction
Still in with a shout of European qualification if can win their remaining matches, Wolves can’t afford to be as defensively sluggish here as they were at Forest but Cunha is a big loss in terms of goals given their current injury issues in attack.
Arsenal meanwhile can be proud of how they forced Bayern to grind out that midweek win especially once out of energy, but they must quickly regroup because this is a hugely winnable game if want to bounce back in the Premier League title race.
Wolves though won’t make things easy but if Mikel Arteta rotates his squad, there is no reason why Arsenal can’t get a routine win and reignite their title push.
Prediction: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
Result: Wolves 0-2 Arsenal
