Team News: Former gunner Nicklas Bendtner starts against Arsenal

Bendtner starts against Arsenal

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made no fewer than 10 changes to his first XI for this afternoon's Emirates Cup test with Wolfsburg in North London.

Mesut Ozil is the only survivor from the side that obliterated Lyon 6-0 on Saturday, as Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla are among those given the nod.

There is also a place for Jeff Reine-Adelaide, whom Wenger labelled "special" after his impressive cameo in the demolition of Lyon.

Meanwhile, there is also a familiar face in the Wolfsburg first XI as Nicklas Bendtner - who spent nine years on the Gunners' books - starts up front for the Germans.

Highly-rated playmaker Kevin de Bruyne, who has been linked with a big-money move to Manchester City, also starts.

Arsenal XI: Cech; Bellerin, Chambers, Gabriel, Monreal; Arteta, Cazorla, Reine-Adelaide, Ozil, Wilshere; Walcott

Wolfsburg XI: Benaglio; Jung, Naldo, Klose, Rodriguez; Träsch, Guilavogui, Vieirinha, De Bruyne, Schürrle; Bendtner
