Arsenal will bring the curtain down on a positive season when they host Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners led the title hunt ahead of Manchester City for much of the campaign but some injuries and absences in their squad saw Pep Guardiola's side surge into the lead and out of sight as Mikel Arteta's outfit faltered.

The Wanderers visit north London having secured their Premier League status and will look to send a few of their wantaway stars off with a victory.

Here's the side Arteta could select at the Emirates on Sunday.

GK: Aaron Ramsdale - Said he and his teammates needed to "look in the mirror" after the defeat to Forest.

RB: Ben White - Will surely return to his regular right back spot after the defensive switcheroo went so badly last time out.

CB: Jakub Kiwior - Impressed on his first Premier League start against Chelsea but has since had ropy performances against Brighton and Forest.

CB: Gabriel Magalhaes - Has had a few defensive partners to play alongside in recent months but undoubtedly looks much more secure with William Saliba next to him.

LB: Kieran Tierney - Looks set for a summer exit with Oleksandr Zinchenko changing the style needed from Arsenal's left back but could slot in with the Ukrainian out injured.

CM: Martin Odegaard - Was at fault for Forest's goal but has provided 15 strikes of his own alongside seven assists in a stellar campaign.

CM: Jorginho - Has edged out Thomas Partey in central midfield over the past few months and could make his 14th league appearance in Gunners colours here.

CM: Granit Xhaka - Will soak up every last second of action with his tumultuous seven-year spell in north London expected to come to an end this summer.

RW: Bukayo Saka - Has just started to flag at the end of a long season. Secured his future with Arsenal with a new long term contract signed this week.

ST: Gabriel Jesus - Handed a yellow card instead of a penalty at the City Ground.

LW: Leandro Trossard - The Belgian can expect another start to conclude his half-season with the Gunners due to Gabriel Martinelli's injury absence.
