Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returns for Arsenal

Pepe isn’t the only man to drop to the bench when compared to the Gunners’ last league fixture.

Matteo Guendouzi comes back into the team in place of tenacious Uruguayan star Lucas Torreira.

Alexandre Lacazette continues up top, while Shkodran Mustafi plays alongside Davd Luiz in the centre of defence.

For Burnley, meanwhile, manager Sean Dyche has named the same team which beat Manchester United on January 22.
