Arnie decision on the way
As reported previously Marko Arnautovic looks likely to be involved in the squad for Wolves but the manager is expected to update his situation his press conference which is due to be held at Rush Green at 12.30 pm.
The final decision will be left to the player who was taken off with a knee injury in the last excursion against Arsenal where he had scored the opener.
Michail Antonio is available and Declan Rice – despite troubled times over his international situation – was in fine form against AFC Wimbledon where he was pushing hard for a Premier League match day squad recall.
Manuel Pellegrini’s comments that he was in regular conversations with the youngster appear to demonstrate that he remains very much part of things after being hooked at half time in the opening game of the season at Liverpool.
Our team – assuming all are fit – would be: Fabianski; Fredericks, Balbuena, Diop, Masuaku; Anderson, Sanchez, Snodgrass, Yarmolenko, Antonio, Arnie.
However, the probable likelihood is that Jack Wilshere will be involved rather than Yarmolenko after being talked up by the manager in pretty dramatic tones over the opening weeks of the season.
