Song and Denilson are both injured so Diaby comes into the midfield. Walcott has recovered from a knock in midweek and will play but Nasri is still out so Arshavin, who seems to be coming back to form, will play on the left.
Lucasz Fabianski is due to have an operation so Szczesny will continue in goal. Chesney looks like he's first choice now in any case. Almunia is fit again and will be on the bench.
Vermaelen is still two to three weeks from being ready and will probably need easing in when he gets back, so the excellent Djourou and Koscielny continue at the back.
The rest of the team is as you would expect:
Szczesny
Sagna Djourou Koscielny Clichy
Diaby Wilshere
Walcott Fabregas Arshavin
van Persie
Subs: Almunia, Squillaci, Eboue, Gibbs, Rosicky, Chamakh, Bendtner
