Arsenal are without Olivier Giroud due to a hamstring injury and he looks likely to miss much of the festive period.
Shkodran Mustafi returns to the bench and Jack Wilshere starts in the heart of midfield for the Gunners.
Francis Coquelin is fit enough for the bench despite limping out of the League Cup win over West Ham.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is also given the nod at left wing-back.
