Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made two changes from the side that defeated Everton 2-1 last week for this afternoon's clash at Swansea City.

Experienced defender Per Mertesacker comes in for Gabriel Paulista, who starts on the bench alongside youngsters Alex Iwobi and Matt Macey.

Swansea City manager Garry Monk names an unchanged side following the Swans' 2-1 win over Aston Villa last weekend, as Ki Sung-yeung is preferred to Jack Cork in midfield.

Swansea City: Fabianski; Naughton, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Ki, Shelvey; Ayew, Sigurdsson, Montero; Gomis Subs: Nordfeldt, Rangel, Bartley, Britton, Cork, Barrow, Eder
