Squad sheets: Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Arsène Wenger will certainly not forgo the traditional handshake with Mick McCarthy, after Wolves's win over Manchester United lifted the Frenchman and his shell-shocked side out of their sizeable depression following their Newcastle meltdown. Wenger has one eye on Wednesday's visit of Barcelona but has indicated he will play his strongest side, assuming Johan Djourou and Alex Song are passed fit. McCarthy will persist with the XI that surprised United, the on-loan Spurs midfielder Jamie O'Hara keeping his place.
