Gabriel Jesus returns to Arsenal's starting XI as one of three changes for their Emirates FA Cup third-round clash against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.
The Brazilian forward, who came off the bench against Newcastle United midweek, replaces Leandro Trossard in the lineup. Mikel Merino and Jorginho also come in for Declan Rice and Thomas Partey in midfield.
Arsenal's backline remains unchanged, with Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, and Myles Lewis-Skelly protecting goalkeeper David Raya. Martin Ødegaard captains the side, while Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli retain their places in the attack.
Riccardo Calafiori misses out due to injury and is not included in the 20-man squad.
Manchester United, who had no midweek fixture, make two changes from their 2-2 draw against Liverpool. Altay Bayındır replaces André Onana in goal, and Alejandro Garnacho starts in place of Amad Diallo.
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Merino, Jorginho, Ødegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Havertz.
Subs: Neto, Zinchenko, Tierney, Kiwior, Partey, Rice, Trossard, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji.
