Per Mertesacker was thought to be touch and go for the game

Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker is named in the starting 11 after hobbling out of last weekend's FA Cup semi-final with an ankle problem.

Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are not match-fit after ankle and groin injuries respectively.

Diego Costa's on-going hamstring issue keeps him out of the squad and fellow striker Loic Remy is out with a calf injury.

Arsenal: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud
