Gabriel Jesus returns to the starting lineup as one of three changes to face Manchester United in the Emirates FA Cup third round at Emirates Stadium.

The Brazilian comes back in after he was a substitute against Newcastle United in midweek, while Mikel Merino and Jorginho are the other two changes – replacing Declan Rice and Thomas Partey in midfield. Leandro Trossard is the other player to make way.

So the back four is unchanged – with Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel and Myles Lewis-Skelly in front of David Raya. Martin Odegaard skippers the side with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli continuing in the forward positions.

Riccardo Calafiori is out injured, so is not in the 20-man squad at all. 

The visitors didn’t play in midweek, and make just two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Liverpool last weekend. One change is in goal, where Altay Bayindir replaces Andre Onana, while Alejandro Garnacho comes in for Amad Diallo.
