Mikel Arteta's Arsenal begin their 2024/25 Premier League campaign at the Emirates as they host Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

Arteta's side finished runners-up to Manchester City for a second straight season but have brought in Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.

Wolves have lost Pedro Neto to Chelsea and will be without four key players due to injury which is far from ideal to start the season. 

Below are the predicted lineups and the latest team news for the two sides.

Arsenal vs. Wolves lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Arteta's team will be without the services of defenders Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu, due to hamstring and knee injuries respectively.

Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice return from their break following England's late Euro 2024 run and both start with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli also leading the attack. 

Arsenal starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Partey, Rice, Odegaard — Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.

Nelson Semedo will also not be available, as he serves a three-match suspension for a red card he received on the last game of the previous season.

Wolves starting XI (4-4-2 right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri — Bellegarde, Lemina, Joao Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes — Hwang, Strand Larsen.
