Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has made five changes to his starting line up for tonight’s FA Cup fifth round replay at Hull City.

Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck and Aaron Ramsey drop out of the side that claimed a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane. All, except Welbeck, are included among the substitutes.

Theo Walcott, Alex Iwobi, Joel Campbell and Olivier Giroud will make up Arsenal’s attacking unit their stead.

Francis Coquelin, who was sent off during Saturday’s north London derby, is suspended and replaced by Mathieu Flamini.

Eldin Jakupovic returns after his heroics in the two sides’ first meeting at the Emirates. The Bosnian replaces first-choice Allan McGregor between the posts.

Andrew Robertson, Jake Livermore and Abel Hernandez are all among the substitutes, while there are starts for Ahmed Elmohamady, Adama Diomande and Manchester United loanee Nick Powell.

Line-ups

Hull City: Jakupovic, Bruce, Maguire, Davies, Odubajo, Elmohamady, Meyler, Huddlestone, Diame, Powell, Diomande

Substitutes: Kuciak, Tymon, Robertson, Livermore, Taylor, Aluko, Hernandez
