Olivier Giroud will return to the Arsenal line-up for Wednesday night's clash with Tottenham according to reports.

The Daily Mirror suggests that the French striker will be recalled by Arsene Wenger after coming off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.

Giroud lost his spot to Theo Walcott in the Gunners' starting line-up having featured in the 2-1 defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League last week, before he was sent off prior to the break.

Wenger is likely to stick with an experienced side for the North London derby with Spurs in the third round of the Capital One Cup and is set to bring David Ospina, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain back into the eleven.
