The Gunners ground out a goalless draw against Premier League champions on Sunday and Wenger has opted to give his fringe players a chance to impress against Doncaster.

The biggest surprise is the inclusion of Alexis Sanchez.

He starts in attack alongside Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott.

Jack Wilshere makes his first start for Arsenal this term while Calum Chambers returns in defence.

Doncaster boss Darren Ferguson has made four changes from Saturday’s defeat at home to Scunthorpe.

Matty Blair, Jordan Houghton, Rodney Kongolo and Alfie May are handed starts.

Arsenal: Ospina, Chambers, Mertesacker, Holding, Wilshere, Elneny, Nelson, Maitland-Niles, Walcott, Alexis, Giroud
