Team News: Aaron Ramsey returns for Arsenal

Aaron Ramsey earns his first Arsenal start since March for the visit of West Brom.

Arsene Wenger has named three changes to Arsenal's first XI for tonight's Premier League visit of West Bromwich Albion.

In midfield, Aaron Ramsey earns his first start since March 5 following an injury, replacing Francis Coquelin to join Mohamed Elneny in a two-man midfield.

Further forward, Olivier Giroud is preferred to Danny Welbeck up front as the Frenchman spearheads an attack which Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi will support.

Per Mertesacker comes in for Gabriel to join Hector Bellerin, Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal in defence, in front of Petr Cech who keeps his place ahead of David Ospina.

Meanwhile, Saido Berahino continues up front for the Baggies, despite missing two penalties in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Watford at The Hawthorns.

Elsewhere, midfielder Sandro is Tony Pulis's only change from the defeat by the Hornets, with striker Salomon Rondon dropping out to allow to Berahino lead the attack.

Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal; Ramsey, Elneny; Sanchez, Iwobi, Ozil; Giroud
Subs: Ospina, Chabers, Gabriel, Coquelin, Campbell, Walcott, Welbeck

West Bromwich Albion: Foster; Chester, Yacob, Evans, McClean, Berahino, McAuley, Fletcher, Dawson, Sessegnon, Sandro
