Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has kept faith with goalkeeper David Ospina by starting him instead of Petr Cech in this afternoon's clash away to West Ham United at Upton Park.
Cech was expected to resume his role as number one after overcoming a calf injury, but Ospina keeps his place in a team that is unchanged from last weekend's 4-0 rout over Watford.
Aaron Ramsey has returned to the squad and takes a spot on the bench after recovering from a thigh injury, but there is no place for Mathieu Flamini, who has been out with a hamstring problem.
As for the home side, Slaven Bilic has made two changes to the team that drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace last Saturday as James Tomkins comes into the defence.
Emmanuel Emenike has been pushed onto the substitutes' bench, while Andy Carroll leads the line, replacing Diafra Sakho.
Cheikhou Kouyate also starts after his red card against Palace was rescinded by the Football Association on Tuesday.
West Ham United: Adrian; Tomkins, Reid, Ogbonna, Antonio; Cresswell, Noble; Kouyate, Payet, Lanzini; Carroll
Subs: Randolph, Hendrie, Oxford, Obiang, Moses, Valencia, Emenike
Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal; Elneny, Coquelin; Sanchez, Ozil, Iwobi; Welbeck
