Hector Bellerin makes his first Premier League start since December 5 as the only change from the Arsenal side that drew with Sheffield United at the weekend.
Bellerin has made just three Premier League appearances this season as he continues his recovery from a knee ligament injury.

Aside from the Spaniard, who takes the place of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Mikel Arteta has not changed his side with Mesut Ozil, Nicolas Pepe, Gabriel Martinelli and Alexandre Lacazette making up the front four.
Sokratis (illness) has failed his fitness test after missing the 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on Saturday. Shkodran Mustafi retains his place at the back.
