Laurent Koscielny is fit to start, and he is among four changes made by Arsene Wenger as Arsenal take on Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.

Koscielny returns to the starting lineup in Arsene Wenger’s side, with Kieran Gibbs making way in his stead. Gibbs’ place as the left wing-back has been taken up by Nacho Monreal.

Hector Bellerin, Francis Coquelin and Olivier Giroud are the other three changes made by Wenger, starting in place of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck.

Meanwhile, Stoke City boss, Mark Hughes has made one change to the side that drew at Bournemouth last week, as Erik Pieters returns to the side, taking his place on the left side of the defence with Marc Muniesa making way for the Dutchman.
