Team News: Leandro Trossard starts as Arsenal make six changes against Manchester City

Leandro Trossard has been handed his first start for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta makes six changes for Friday's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

The Belgium international made his debut in last weekend's 3-2 win over Manchester United, and Arteta's team selection for the Etihad encounter was the subject of much debate.

Rather than stick with his first-choice XI, Arteta has not been afraid to make several alterations, bringing Matt Turner back in goal for Aaron Ramsdale as part of a much-changed defence.

Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Rob Holding are also recalled to the backline, with Gabriel Magalhaes the only player to hold his place from the win over Man United.

Arsenal's lack of midfield options means that there is no rest for Granit Xhaka or Thomas Partey, but Martin Odegaard is benched as Fabio Vieira occupies the number 10 role.

Bukayo Saka is handed a start out wide, as Trossard also joins Eddie Nketiah in the final third, while new signing Jakub Kiwior is named among the substitutes.

Arsenal starting lineup: Turner; Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Vieira, Trossard; Nketiah

Subs: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Lokonga, Odegaard, Marquinhos, Martinelli
