Arsenal welcome Tomas Rosicky back into the starting lineup for their Premier League game away to Fulham, with Jack Wilshere on the bench.

There are no other chances for the Gunners following their 0-0 draw at home to Everton on Tuesday, with Wojciech Szczesny retaining his place in goal after Lukasz Fabianski suffered a cracked rib.

Manager Arsene Wenger has kept his faith in the central pairing of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, with club captain Thomas Vermaelen again consigned to a place on the bench.

Rosicky comes into the midfield alongside Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey, while a frontline of Santi Cazorla and Theo Walcott are spearheaded by Olivier Giroud.

Fulham manager Martin Jol makes four changes to the team that drew 1-1 away to Aston Villa, with Steve Siwell, Alex Kacaniklic, Kieran Richardson and Stanislav Manolev coming in for John Arne Riise, Giorgos Karagounis, Mladen Petric and Sascha Riether.
