Double change for the hosts as Bendtner makes way to be replaced by Santi Cazorla, while Gideon Zelalem (German/Ethiopian) comes on for his debut in place of Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Zelalem, 16, is the first player to make his Arsenal debut having been born after Wenger took charge of the club in September 1996.

Zelalem is of Ethiopian heritage but currently holds German citizenship. The youngster, who also lived in the US for seven years, is being courted by US men’s national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Arsenal defeated Coventry 4-0.
