Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina has returned to the starting lineup for this afternoon's Premier League clash at home to Aston Villa.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has made a further four changes following last weekend's 3-2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup, with Hector Bellerin, Per Mertesacker, Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla all being recalled.
New signing Gabriel Paulista is on the bench, while top scorer Alexis Sanchez misses out altogether for the hosts with a minor knock.
After seeing his side beat Bournemouth in the FA Cup, Villa boss Paul Lambert has made just the one change as Fabian Delph replaces Leandro Bacuna. Recent loan signing Scott Sinclair begins the game as a substitute.
Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Ramsey; Walcott, Cazorla, Ozil; Giroud
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Gabriel, Chambers, Flamini, Rosicky, Akpom
Aston Villa: Guzan; Hutton, Okore, Clark, Richardson; Sanchez, Delph, Cleverley, Weimann, Gil; Benteke
Subs: Given, Baker, Bacuna, Sinclair, Agbonlahor, Westwood, Cissokho
