Alexis Sanchez returns to Arsenal's starting line-up after being consigned to a cameo appearance fromm the bench against West Ham last week.

Subs: Hennessey, Mariappa, Jedinak, Mutch, Lee, Bamford, Murray.
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud.
