Liam Keen's predicted Wolves XI vs Arsenal
The first fixture of the Premier League season is upon us and Wolves face a tough test at Arsenal.
For Gary O'Neil, his selection dilemma largely comes in defence, with a big decision facing him on whether he sticks with his pre-season plans or changes his tactics to nullify the Gunners.
I think O'Neil will stick with a back four, but keep an eye on Rodrigo Gomes as I would also expect him to track back with Bukayo Saka and create a makeshift back five at times.

The midfield two of Joao Gomes and Mario Lemina should pick itself and so should R.Gomes on the left, Hwang Hee-chan in the number 10 role and Jorgen Strand Larsen up front.
