Team News: Arsenal unchanged for Swansea City visit

Arsene Wenger names an unchanged Arsenal XI as Bob Bradley takes charge of Swansea City for the first time.

Arsene Wenger has named an unchanged Arsenal XI for the visit of Swansea City this afternoon.

Alexis Sanchez continues up front for the hosts, with support from Alex Iwobi, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil, while Granit Xhaka and Santi Cazorla continue their partnership at defensive midfield.

Laurent Koscielny, who grabbed the 93rd-minute winner at Burnley last time out, remains at the heart of the Gunners' defense with partner Shkodran Mustafi, with Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin operating on either side.

Olivier Giroud is out of the matchday squad entirely as he continues to recover from a toe injury, while Francis Coquelin and Lucas Perez have overcome knee injuries to begin the game on the bench.

For visiting Swansea, new manager Bob Bradley makes three changes for his first game in charge of the Welsh side.

Two of those alterations come in the defence, as the fit-again Federico Fernandez and Neil Taylor usurp Angel Rangel and Mike van der Hoorn.

Meanwhile, Modou Barrow is preferred to Borja up front alongside Wayne Routledge and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal; Xhaka, Cazorla; Iwobi, Ozil, Walcott; Alexis
Subs: Ospina, Gibbs, Gabriel, Coquelin, Elneny, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lucas Perez

Swansea City: Fabianski; Taylor, Amat, Fernandez, Naughton; Fer, Britton, Cork; Routledge, Sigurdsson, Barrow
Subs: Nordtfelt, Van der Hoorn, Rangel, Kingsley, Fulton, Ki, Borja
