Arsene Wenger and the first-team squad will donate a day's wages and a range of fundraising initiatives will be available for supporters at the Emirates Stadium ahead of the top-of-the-table clash.

Czech Republic No 1 Cech begins the short two minute video on YouTube by drumming along to the classic Yuletide tune 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' before transitioning seamlessly into 'Ding Dong Merrily on High'.

He is then joined by team-mates Monreal and Sanchez, before instructing the Spanish left-back to follow his hi-hat as he plays the bells.

As Chile international Sanchez provides some added melody on the keyboard, Cech jokes that Monreal's bell shaking made all the difference.

The Arsenal goalkeeper is a keen musician and plays the drums for a hobby.
