Team News: Danny Welbeck leads line for much-changed Arsenal at Nottingham Forest

Welbeck leads line for Gunners at Forest

Danny Welbeck will lead the line for a much-changed Arsenal side in Sunday's FA Cup third-round meeting with Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has made 10 changes from the midweek 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Only Ainsley Maitland-Niles keeps his place from the XI which began the thrilling Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Championship side Forest, meanwhile, make just two switches from their goalless draw at Leeds United on New Year's Day.

Zach Clough and David Vaughan come in for Barrie McKay and Liam Bridcutt as the managerless Reds seek to avenge their 4-0 loss to Arsenal in the EFL Cup last season.

Nottingham Forest: Smith, Lichaj, Mancienne, Traore, Osborn, Cash, Clough, Brereton, Dowell, Vaughan, Worrall Subs: Henderson, Mills, McKay, Bouchalakis, Walker, Cummings, Vellios

Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Holding, Nelson, Willock, Elneny, Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Iwobi, Welbeck Subs: Macey, Chambers, Osei-Tutu, Dasilva, Reine-Adelaide, Akpom, Nketiah
