[Teams] Arsenal vs Middlesbrough: Confirmed Line-Ups

Arsenal will be looking to keep the pressure on at the top of the table when we take on Middlesbrough at the Emirates this afternoon.

Arsene Wenger has made four changes from the side that beat Ludogorets 4-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday night. Petr Cech comes in between the sticks with David Ospina dropping out and Nacho Monreal replaces Kieran Gibbs at left-back.

Santi Cazorla misses out with an achilles problem so Mohamed Elneny comes in to the midfield alongside Francis Coquelin while Alex Iwobi replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in attack.

Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey continue to miss out so Jeff Reine-Adelaide and Ainsley Maitland-Niles are named on the bench.

Here are the confirmed line-ups for the game:

Arsenal

Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Walcott, Elneny, Coquelin, Iwobi, Ozil, Alexis
