Mikel Arteta has made six changes to his side for tonight’s FA Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester City, with Leandro Trossard handed a first start.
The Belgian international impressed off the bench against Manchester United last weekend, and is rewarded with an opportunity from the start as the boss shuffles his pack.
Matt Turner gets the nod to start in goal, while full-backs Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu replace Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who is named on the bench on his first return to the Etihad Stadium since his summer switch.
Rob Holding is preferred to William Saliba, while Fabio Vieira also comes into the team, with Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard giving way for him and Trossard.
Also named on the bench is Jakub Kiwior following his arrival from Spezia earlier in the week.
Pep Guardiola has made two changes to his team that beat Wolves on the weekend, with Stefan Ortega given a chance to impress in goal, while Nathan Ake comes in for Aymeric Laporte in central defence.
Man City: Ortega, Stones, Ake, Akanji, Lewis, Gundogan, Rodri, Grealish, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Haaland.
Subs: Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Phillips, Silva, Palmer, Alvarez.
Arsenal: Turner, Tomiyasu, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Xhaka, Partey, Vieira, Trossard, Saka, Nketiah.
Subs: Ramsdale, White, Zinchenko, Saliba, Kiwior, Lokonga, Odegaard, Marquinhos, Martinelli.
