Arsenal make 11 changes against Norwich

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made 11 changes to his starting XI ahead of their EFL Cup fourth-round encounter with Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium.

Petr Cech is not in the squad as Matt Macey is selected in goal for his debut, while Joseph Willock drops to the bench with Alex Iwobi coming into the side.

Olivier Giroud starts up front for the Gunners, with Jack Wilshere set to play in a deeper role alongside Francis Coquelin.

Norwich, meanwhile, make four changes from the side that beat Ipswich Town 1-0 in the East Anglian derby on Sunday.

James Husband, Mario Vranic, Josh Murphy and Nelson Oliveira all come into the side, with Cameron Jerome, Yanic Wildschut, Marco Stiepermann and Wes Hoolahan dropping to the bench.

Arsenal: Macey, Debuchy, Elneny, Holding, Nelson, Coquelin, Wilshere, Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Iwobi, Giroud Subs: Iliev, Osei-Tutu, Sheaf, Dasilva, Willock, Nketiah, Akpom
