Ramsey was named on the bench but Wilshere missed out on the squad completely after picking up a kick to the knee in mid-week. It means that Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Santi Cazorla will start behind striker Danny Welbeck in an attacking trio that were so impressive in the victory over Galatasaray last month.
Kieran Gibbs is fit enough to start the match, meaning the Gunners can retain the same side that beat Sunderland 2-0 as Laurent Koscielny remains absent. Theo Walcott is again named on the bench as he continues his recovery from a long-term knee injury, along with Yaya Sanogo.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche makes two changes from the side that lost 3-1 to Everton last time out as Dean Marney and Marvin Sordell come into the starting line-up at the expense of Michel Kightley and Lukasz Jutkiewicz.
Line-ups:
Arsenal: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Flamini, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis, Cazorla, Welbeck
Subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Rosicky, Ramsey, Walcott, Podolski, Sanogo
Burnley: Heaton; Ward, Shackell (c), Duff, Trippier; Boyd, Jones, Marney, Arfield; Ings, Sordell
Subs: Gilks, Wallace, Mee, Kightly, Jutkiewicz, Chalobah, Keane
