Arsene Wenger makes two changes from the side which beat Manchester United. Gael Clichy failed a late fitness test and is replaced by Kieran Gibbs. Whilst Andrey Arshavin comes in for the injured Samir Nasri.
Johan Djourou takes his place in the starting line up after recovering from an ankle injury.

The starting 11 is:
Szczesny
Sagna - Djourou - Koscielny - Gibbs
Song - Wilshere
Walcott - Ramsey - Arshavin
van Persie
Subs: Lehmann, Eboue, Vermaelen, Squillaci, Rosicky, Bendtner, Chamakh.
