Charlie Patino makes his first Arsenal start against Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

Bernd Leno starts in goal while Cedric, Ben White, Rob Holding and Nuno Tavares make up the defence.

Sambi Lokonga partners Charlie Patino in midfield, while Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli support Eddie Nketiah upfront.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Cedric, White, Holding, Tavares, Lokonga, Patino, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Nketiah.

Subs: Ramsdale, Tierney, Chambers, Mari, Lacazette, Kolasinac, Biereth, Salah-Eddine, Hutchinson.
