TEAM NEWS: Ozil misses out

Mesut Ozil

Mesut Ozil misses out on Arsenal’s clash with Manchester City due to a slight hip problem as Arsene Wenger makes two changes to his side.

Danny Welbeck replaces the German midfielder, while Gabriel comes into defence in place of the injured Per Mertesacker.

Olivier Giroud retains the central striker role and Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla are on the bench.

Arsenal starting XI: Cech, Bellerin, Gabriel, Koscielny, Monreal, Elneny, Ramsey, Welbeck, Iwobi, Alexis, Giroud

Arsenal substitutes: Ospina, Gibbs, Coquelin, Wilshere, Cazorla, Campbell, Walcott
