Team News: Aaron Ramsey, Danny Welbeck start for Arsenal

Ramsey, Welbeck start for Arsenal

Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck have both been handed roles in the starting lineup for Arsenal's Europa League fixture with AC Milan at San Siro.

Ramsey was rested at the weekend in preparation for the game against the Serie A giants, while Danny Welbeck is brought into the team as a replacement for the ineligible Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

As expected, David Ospina features between the sticks, although Petr Cech takes a place on the bench, but the remainder of the team is as expected as Arsene Wenger looks to halt a run of four successive defeats.

There are few surprises in the AC Milan lineup, too, with Gennaro Gattuso looking to extend the team's 13-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Former Liverpool attacker Suso is named in attack, as is 20-year-old Patrick Cutrone who has scored five goals in his last seven appearances in all competitions.

AC Milan: G.Donnarumma; Rodriguez, Romagnoli, Bonucci, Calabria; Kessie, Biglia; Bonaventura, Suso, Calhanoglu; Cutrone Subs: Kalinic, Silva, Borini, Zapata, Montolivo, Locatelli, A.Donnarumma

Arsenal: Ospina; Chambers, Mustafi, Koscielny, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Wilshere; Ozil, Ramsey, Mkhitaryan; Welbeck Subs: Cech, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Iwobi, Nelson, Nketiah
