Arsenal starting XI: Leno; Cedric, Holding, Mari, Tavares; Lokonga, Partey, Maitland-Niles; Martinelli, Nketiah, Lacazette.
Arsenal substitutes: Hein, Chambers, Kolasinac, Elneny, Smith Rowe, Saka, Balogun.
Arsenal go with Bernd Leno between the sticks as he comes in for Aaron Ramsdale.
That means Ramsdale misses out on a game against his former loan club.
It’s a whole different back four from the team that beat Burnley 1-0 on Saturday.
Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Pablo Mari and Nuno Tavares all feature across the Arsenal back four.
Thomas Partey is handed a start in what looks to be a midfield three. Albert Sambi Lokonga and Ainsley Maitland-Niles join him.
Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette all start in attack.
We would assume that means Martinelli and Nketiah flanking Lacazette in a front three.
Folarin Balogun is only on the bench, joining Karl Hein, Calum Chambers, Sead Kolasinac, Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
Teenage midfielder Charlie Patino isn’t included in the squad at all – a surprise decision given his great progress in the development ranks this season.
