Arsenal will take on Crystal Palace on Monday night as they travel to Selhurst Park Stadium to secure all three points from this away encounter. The Gunners come into the match on the back of a 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in their last fixture, so we can expect them to produce a similar display.
Mikel Arteta will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first XI for this game. Thomas Partey could get a chance to impress from the start while Jurrien Timber is set to miss out on the entire season.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted XI Vs Crystal Palace
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will continue operate in between the sticks for the Gunners after he shipped in one goal in his last outing. Ben White will function alongside William Saliba at the centre of Arsenal’s defence as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Thomas Partey will play as the right-back while Oleksandr Zinchenko looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to impress for the North London club out in the wide areas.
Rob Holding and Gabriel will be available for selection on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard will make up Arteta’s midfield as they try to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park.
All three of them will have to be efficient in keeping possession and create enough opportunities for Arsenal to win this away contest.
Fabio Vieira will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to impress in the second half if asked to do so.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will hope to put his pace to good use as the left-sided wide player while Bukayo Saka hopes to catch the eye as the right-sided winger.
Eddie Nketiah will lead the charge for the Gunners in the final third. He has to figure out a way to cause a few problems for the opposition centre-backs.
Leandro Trossard and Emile Smith Rowe will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Arsenal are in need of a goal by then.
