Alexandre Lacazette also starts, as does Dani Ceballos. Sead Kolasinac and Bukayo Saka drop to the bench and Joe Willock misses out altogether – and so does Mesut Ozil once again.

Crystal Palace make one change, with Andros Townsend starting ahead of Jeffrey Schlupp.

Arsenal: Leno, Chambers, Sokratis, Luiz, Tierney, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.
Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Torreira, Holding, Kolasinac, Martinelli, Saka.

Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Tomkins, Cahill, Van Aanholt, Milivojevic, Kouyate, McArthur, Townsend, Ayew, Zaha.
Subs: Henderson, Dann, Meyer, Schlupp, Benteke, McCarthy, Kelly.
