Arsene Wenger has put his faith in the Arsenal players that were embarrassed at AC Milan in today’s north London derby against Tottenham.
The Gunners make one enforced change from the side that lost the Champions League last-16 tie 4-0 in Italy, with Yossi Benayoun making his first start for more than a month in place of the injured Aaron Ramsey.
Tottenham have made one alteration to their last Premier League game, with Michael Dawson replacing by Younes Kaboul – who scored the winning goal in last season’s corresponding fixture.

Subs: Fabianski, Park, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jenkinson, Gervinho, Chamakh, Miquel.
Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Saha.
