Mohamed Elneny, Danny Welbeck make starts for Arsenal

The Egypt international’s only other start came in the fourth-round victory over Burnley in January, and he was joined in midfield by Mathieu Flamini.

Elsewhere, Danny Welbeck lead the line after he emerged from the bench last Sunday to score a last-minute winner against Leicester City, while talented youngster Alex Iwobi made his third start for the club.

For Hull, Nick Powell made his debut having joined the Humberside club on loan from Manchester United on transfer deadline day.

However, Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden, both on loan from Arsenal, were ineligible.
