Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has rarely tinkered with his starting XI this season unless he’s had to because of injuries.

Ben White continues at right back alongside William Saliba, Gabriel and Oleksandr Zinchenko in defence, while Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard start in midfield.

New signings Jorginho, Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior are among the substitutes Arteta can call on when required.

17-year-old Amario Cozier-Duberry has also been named on the bench following impressive performances at youth level.

No player has been involved in more Premier League London derby goals since the start of last season than Bukayo Saka (12) and the England international will be desperate to continue his goalscoring feat on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Tomiyasu, Holding, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Trossard, Cozier-Duberry.
