Arsenal
While neither Kieran Tierney (hamstring) nor Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) will be ready for Arsenal's Premier League opener, Arteta is keeping his fingers crossed that Jurrien Timber - who tore his ACL on the opening weekend last year - will shake off a foot issue to feature, and the same goes for hip victim Fabio Vieira.
The Dutchman is one of a few left-back options for the Gunners boss, a list that also includes Riccardo Calafiori ahead of his expected Premier League debut, but Oleksandr Zinchenko impressed in pre-season and should be given the nod from the first whistle.
Saturday's game will also mark David Raya's first competitive match since his permanent move from Brentford, while Thomas Partey is seemingly set to be given the nod in the number six position as Arsenal continue to work on the signing of Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Wolves
Arteta and O'Neil can empathise when it comes to unavailable full-backs, as Nelson Semedo's red card in the final game of last season - a 2-0 loss to Liverpool - means that the ex-Barcelona man is banned for the first three games of the new term.
With Semedo suspended, Matt Doherty and new signing Pedro Lima will battle it out to start at the Emirates, where O'Neil expects all of Matheus Cunha (hamstring), Daniel Podence (calf), Mario Lemina (thigh) and Jorgen Strand Larsen (groin) to be available despite their niggles.
However, Leon Chiwone (ankle) is still sidelined, while teenage winger Enso Gonzalez suffered a devastating ACL injury while playing for Paraguay at the Olympics and is facing a lengthy recuperation period, joining luckless striker Sasa Kalajdzic in the cruciate's club.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Sa; Doherty, Mosquera, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Lemina, Gomes, Podence; Cunha, Hwang
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
