Plenty of Arsenal fans are confident that they’ll see Mesut Ozil and Nicolas Pepe from the off against Wolves later today.
The pair have started alongside each other just once following Pepe’s club-record move from Lille in the summer, mainly due to the fact that Unai Emery has frozen out Ozil for large parts of the campaign.
The German playmaker was handed a rare start against Liverpool in the thrilling Carabao Cup tie on Wednesday, catching the eye with an impressive 60-minute display.
Ozil’s performance has led to plenty of praise from Arsenal fans, including @PatrickTimmons1, who is desperate for the 31-year-old to feature behind Pepe.

His tweet on Friday night led to plenty of interaction, with numerous Gunners supporters confident of seeing the duo at the Emirates this afternoon.

The only time the pair were in the same starting line up was the 2-2 draw with Watford.
The home fixture against Wolves today could be the first time they do start together at the Emirates, and if they link up like many expect them to, it could be the start of a brilliant relationship in north London.
