The Hale End Academy product has been named in the starting line-up for the clash at the Emirates Stadium, and starts in attack along with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Of his 99 games so far in a Gunners shirt, 66 were in the Premier League, 9 each in the Emirates FA Cup and Champions League, 8 League Cup, 6 Europa League and one match in the Community Shield.

Iwobi has totaled 6,077 minutes in the 99 matches, an average of 61.38 minutes per game, and has been directly involved in 28 goals (10 goals, 18 assists).

The 22-year-old made his competitive debut for the Gunners back in the 2015-16 season in a League Cup match against Sheffield Wednesday.
