Arsene Wenger has elected to ring the changes to his starting lineup. David Ospina starts in goal behind a much-changed defence. Mustafi remains but Per Mertesacker and Rob Holding come in.

Mohamed Elneny and Jack Wilshere start in midfield together for the first time with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Nacho Monreal in the full-back positions.

The big story is up front with Alexis Sanchez getting a place in the starting lineup. He will start alongside Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott up front.
