Arsenal have fielded a very strong starting XI against Swansea City as the Gunners look to pick up where they left off after the international break.

The first choice back four of Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi and Bellerin all start against the Swans. Granit Xhaka has also been handed a start, while Alex Iwobi joins Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott in the attacking midfield.

Despite the availability of Lucas Perez and Olivier Giroud, Arsene Wenger has chosen to stick with the Chilean up front.

Meanwhile Swansea have made three changes to the team that lost to Liverpool in their last Premier League outing. Neil Taylor, Federico Fernandez and Modou Barrow make the starting XI in place of Angel Rangel, Mike van der Hoorn and Borja Gonzalez.
