Arsenal will face off against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this Sunday as they look to secure a good result on the road after they became the new Premier League champions earlier this week. The Gunners managed to earn a narrow 1-0 win over Burnley recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will opt for the 4-3-3 formation once again and is expected to make a lot of changes with one eye on the UEFA Champions League final versus Paris Saint-Germain next week. Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Max Dowman could all play from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Crystal Palace
Defence
Kepa Arrizabalaga could get a chance to shine in goal for the Gunners as Arteta looks to hand David Raya a well-deserved rest. Marli Salmon will probably get the nod to feature alongside Piero Hincapie at the heart of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside their half.
Myles Lewis-Skelly will try to prove his worth as the left-back, while Cristhian Mosquera looks to put in a solid performance on the other side as the right-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Christian Norgaard, Martin Zubimendi and Max Dowman will make up Arsenal’s midfield. All three of them need to find a way to make life tough for the home side at the centre of the park before trying to offer support to their teammates up top.
Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze will be rested on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if needed.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will hope to give a good account of himself on the left flank, while Noni Madueke tries to put his pace to good use as the right-sided wide player.
Viktor Gyokeres will spearhead Arsenal‘s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Gabriel Jesus will make up the numbers on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the final quarter of the game if required.
