Team News: Aaron Ramsey starts for Arsenal, Lewis Grabban begins up front for Norwich City

Aaron Ramsey makes his return from injury as he replaces Joel Campbell, while Lewis Grabban starts up front for Norwich City as Alex Neil makes three changes to his side.

Aaron Ramsey makes his full return from injury as he replaces Joel Campbell in Arsenal's midfield, while Lewis Grabban starts up front for Norwich City as manager Alex Neil makes three alterations to the side that lost to Chelsea.

The Welsh midfielder, who made his comeback as a substitute in the Gunners' 3-0 Champions League victory over Dinamo Zagreb, begins on the right of an attacking midfield trio which also contains Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil.

Mathieu Flamini continues in a defensive midfield role, alongside Santi Cazorla, due to the long injury layoff facing Francis Coquelin.

Canaries boss Neil has made three changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Grabban starts as the lone striker for Norwich, making his first start since the opening round of fixtures, replacing Dieumerci Mbokani.

Graeme Dorrans and Wes Hoolahan are preferred in midfield to Youssuf Mulumbu and Nathan Redmond, who both take up spots on the Canaries' bench alongside Mbokani.

Norwich captain Russell Martin also makes Neil's matchday 18, returning to the squad after missing the Chelsea trip for personal reasons.

Norwich City: Ruddy; Wisdom, Bennett, Bassong, Olsson; Howson, Dorrans, O'Neil, Brady; Hoolahan; Grabban
Subs: Rudd, Martin, Mbokani, Jerome, Mulumbu, Redmond, Odjidja

Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal; Flamini, Cazorla; Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis; Giroud
Subs: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Chambers, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Reine-Adelaide, Campbell
