Arsenal will look to enter the World Cup break at the top of the Premier League table when they travel to Molineux to do battle with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday evening.
The Gunners maintained their two-point lead over Manchester City with a crucial 1-0 win over Chelsea last weekend, with Gabriel Magalhaes scoring the only goal of the game at Stamford Bridge.
However, Mikel Arteta's side suffered only their second domestic defeat of the season in midweek, going out of the EFL Cup in the third round after a 3-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Wolves, who are deep in the relegation zone in 19th.
