Mikel Arteta has decided to start Mesut Ozil in his first Premier League game as Arsenal manager but has kept Nicolas Pepe on the bench. The game is being streamed live on Amazon Prime as are all of today's fixtures.
Bernd Leno starts in goal as Hector Bellerin isn't risked at right-back. Instead, Ainsley Maitland-Niles keeps his place with Sokratis, David Luiz and Bukayo Saka completing the defence.
Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka partner each other in midfield yet again as Ozil takes the place of Smith Rowe as the No.10. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is moved out to the left with Alexandre Lacazette starting up front as Reiss Nelson takes the right wing.
Gabriel Martinelli is not on the bench after picking up a knock at Goodison Park but Smith Rowe is with Emi Martinez, Pepe, Shkodran Mustafi, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Joe Willock and Matteo Guendouzi.
As well as Martinelli missing out, Calum Chambers has not travelled as he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season at Everton.
When asked how he would set up his first Arsenal side ahead of the game, Arteta ensured he'd go all guns blazing.
"With me, they have a clean sheet I told them. You're not going to be judged on what you've done in the past whether it's negative or positive," he said in his pre-match press conference.
"We will try to put the most competitive team against that team. We know how tricky that stadium is and how complicated they are going to make it for us but we have to be ready.
Arsenal XI: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Saka; Torreira, Xhaka; Nelson, Ozil, Aubameyang; Lacazette
