Wolves lineup vs. Arsenal: Predicted XI for Premier League clash as Matheus Cunha faces admirers

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Wolverhampton Wanderers could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Arsenal.

Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Matheus Cunha will be taking on one of his reported admirers when the Old Gold host Arsenal in Saturday's Premier League showdown.

Debate over the Brazilian's future was reignited after Monday's 3-1 defeat to Chelsea, where head coach Vitor Pereira criticised Cunha's body language after he seemingly failed to acknowledge the travelling fans.

Both Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have been tipped to make a move for Cunha before deadline day on February 3, but while the influential attacker is a Wolves player, he should not be axed from the first XI.

Expect Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen to work in tandem up front again, but after Pablo Sarabia's ineffective display at Stamford Bridge, Pereira might give consideration to starting Rodrigo Gomes, who did provide some impetus off the bench last time out.

However, Gomes in for Sarabia is the only alteration that Pereira might consider this weekend, as Joao Gomes and Andre's midfield partnership should not be broken up while Mario Lemina ponders an exit.

Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo are shoo-ins out wide, as are Emmanuel Agbadou, Santiago Bueno and Matt Doherty in defence, unless Toti Gomes forces his way back in after a thigh problem.

Long-term absentees Sasa Kalajdzic (knee), Boubacar Traore (knee), Enso Gonzalez (knee) and Yerson Mosquera (knee) are still missing for the hosts.

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Bueno; Semedo, Andre, J. Gomes, Ait-Nouri; R. Gomes, Cunha; Larsen
