The Boss has made a number of changes from the side which got past Southampton on the weekend with Shkodran Mustafi the only survivor.
Petr Cech starts in goals and plays behind an unchanged back four from the last Premier League match. Gabriel Paulista and Nacho Monreal start out wide with Mustafi partnering skipper Laurent Koscielny in the middle.
Aaron Ramsey and Francis Coquelin return in the centre of the park with Mesut Özil playing further forward.
Alexis Sanchez plays out wide again with Alex Iwobi on the opposite flank, supporting Olivier Giroud who starts as the sole striker.
There are places on the bench for Hector Bellerin, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Lucas Perez but Danny Welbeck sits this one out.
