Rosicky replaces Nasri
Tomas Rosicky has been handed the task of filling in for injured Samir Nasri as Arsenal looked to maintain their Barclays Premier League title push against Everton at Emirates Stadium.
France midfielder Nasri, who has 14 goals, suffered a hamstring injury during the FA Cup fourth-round win over Huddersfield on Sunday, and now looks a major doubt for the Champions League clash against Barcelona on February 16.
Arsenal have made no fewer than 10 changes, with Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie back in the side, while Andrey Arshavin found himself on the bench again.
Everton, who have lost just once since November, have named the same side which drew with Chelsea.
Victor Anichebe is on the bench after recovering from a groin strain.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Rosicky, van Persie.
Subs: Almunia, Diaby, Arshavin, Eboue, Gibbs, Chamakh, Bendtner.
Everton: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Arteta, Rodwell, Fellaini, Bilyaletdinov, Saha.
Subs: Mucha, Jagielka, Beckford, Gueye, Osman, Anichebe, Baxter.
Referee: Lee Mason.
