Granit Xhaka misses out with illness while Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
That means a starting slot for Welbeck to support Alexandre Lacazette with Elneny in midfield.
Arsenal have never won a match in Russia under Arsene Wenger in his 22 years as Arsenal manager.
