…INJURY REPORT

Pedro Neto is on the grass and he hopes the winger will feature before the end of the season if all goes well. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is still out and Craig Dawson has had his operation. Rayan Ait-Nouri could be available to feature on the bench after training today. Nelson Semedo and Matheus Cunha have been ruled out while Hwang Hee-chan will only be able to play for 45 minutes at most.

…PREPARATION

So for the starting XI tomorrow, I have got 10 senior outfield players to pick from who can last or start a football match. It's probably the worst situation we have been in, but lots of positives to come from that like loads of young players being involved and maybe a debut or two from the start of the game.

…ARSENAL

I watch a lot of Arsenal's games. They are a fantastic watch. Mikel Arteta is doing a fantastic job. Even during this tough week, you can see how fine the margins are and they could have easily won at Bayern Munich, with the structure of the team and how he sets them up. We are going to have a right go with what we have available. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing how we can cope. In different moments, we learn a lot about each other and about sticking together.

...ABOUT THE MATCH

The context is clear. If we win we are top of the league. That’s the context, we don’t need anything else to be motivated or to go to that game with our minds clear and our purpose very, very clear. I think about winning tomorrow. Not if! Sorry!

...TEAM'S GROWTH

It’s been a very intense journey and we deserve to be at the top fighting at such a level so you’re going to have to go through that. This job, this industry is constantly testing your resilience and your ego. Things go well and things don’t go well and you have to be able to navigate and go through those moments in a natural way, understanding the context and looking at the positives. That’s the best thing you can do, to learn and look forward.

...ABOUT STANDINGS

It hasn’t been good because of the results. It’s been very good in other experience and in other situations we’ve done really well and who knows how good it’s going to be for us at Wolves to fight better for the Premier League. I don’t know, nobody knows.

...GARY O'NEIL AND WOLVES

Unbelievable, so good. And you can tell how well they are coached, the spirit of the team, the difficulty that they create against every opponent, really good side and it will be really tough tomorrow, we have prepared really good in that last two days, we had a great training session today.
