Arsenal manager Unai Emery has named his starting eleven and substitutes for the Gunners’ Premier League clash against Burnley later today at the Emirates.
Mesut Ozil has returned to the starting eleven and wears the captain’s armband, and he will be playing behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette up front. Mohamed Elney, Matteo Guenzouzi and Grant Xhaka will form a three-man midfield for the Gunners.

The Arsenal boss has recalled Sead Kolasinac in the line-up as the left-back. Sokratis and Nacho Monreal will play as the centre-back pairing. Lucas Torreira, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Iwobi are some of the options Arsenal have on the bench today.
Emery will be keen to see his side shake off back-to-back defeats against Southampton and Tottenham and get back to winning form against Burnley.
