Team news: No changes for Palace trip

Arsene Wenger has named an unchanged side for our London derby at Crystal Palace.

Emi Martinez keeps his place in goal with Petr Cech and David Ospina still sidelined, and Gabriel continues at centre back with Laurent Koscielny unavailable.

Danny Welbeck leads the line with Alexis to the left and Theo Walcott - who captains the side - on the right.

Olivier Giroud, who scored with a spectacular scorpion kick in the reverse fixture on New Year’s Day, is among the substitutes.

There is one change to the squad, Francis Coquelin returning in place of Alex Iwobi, who played for our under-23s on Monday.

Arsenal team: Martinez, Bellerin, Mustafi, Gabriel, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Ozil, Walcott, Welbeck, Alexis

Arsenal substitutes: Macey, Gibbs, Giroud, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Coquelin, Mertesacker, Ramsey
