Ozil on the bench for Gunners; Torres starts for Blues in London derby

Arsenal have Kieran Gibbs back in their first XI and record signing Mesut Ozil on the bench for the Barclays Premier League clash with Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.

Fit-again Gibbs replacing the injured Nacho Monreal in defence is the only change to the starting line-up from last Saturday’s 4-1 win against Sunderland, while playmaker Ozil is returning to the matchday squad after missing that game due to injury.
