The big news is that Laurent Koscielny returns to the side with Rob Holding keeping his place and joins Shkodran Mustafi as the back three.

Kieran Gibbs makes way for Nacho Monreal, while the injury to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain allows Hector Bellerin to make a return to the lineup too.

Francis Coquelin starts on his 26th birthday in place of Aaron Ramsey, with Arsene Wenger opting for the more physical Olivier Giroud up front preferred ahead of Danny Welbeck who makes the bench

Here’s how the teams line up:

Arsenal

Petr Cech
Laurent Koscielny

Shkodran Mustafi
