Guardiola's City, starts in an attacking trio for the Gunners in the FA
Cup semi-final
Alexis, who has been linked with a summer move to the Etihad, has been handed a starting place next to Ozil, with Giroud at the head of the Arsenal attack. Aaron Ramsey and Granit Xhaka pair up in the middle of the pitch for the Gunners.
Wenger has opted for a three-man defence at Wembley, with Gabriel, Laurent Koscielny and Rob Holding in front of Petr Cech, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Nacho Monreal on the wings.
Meanwhile Man City start with Sergio Aguero, with Leroy Sane, David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne in the attacking positions behind the Argentinian in an unchanged XI for City.
Nicolas Otamendi starts alongside Vincent Kompany in the centre of defence, with Claudio Bravo chosen to start in goal for Pep Guardiola's side.
Arsenal subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Gibbs, Coquelin, Walcott, Iwobi, Welbeck
City XI: Bravo; Navas, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy; Fernandinho, Yaya De Bruyne; Silva, Sane, Aguero
City subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Fernando, Sterling, Kolarov, Delph, Iheanacho
