Laurent Koscielny has returned to the Arsenal starting lineup for tonight's Premier League encounter at home to West Ham United.

The French defender, who has recently been sidelined with a thigh injury, is one of four changes for the Gunners following Saturday's FA Cup semi-final win over Wigan Athletic.

Kim Kallstrom, Tomas Rosicky and Olivier Giroud have also been included, while Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are among the substitutes.

Subs: Fabianski, Bellerin, Jenkinson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Sanogo, Akpom
