After replacing William Saliba in the first-half of our Europa League tie against Sporting on Thursday, Rob Holding makes his first Premier League start of the season against Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

The centre back is one six changes to our team that lost on penalties on Thursday, with Ben White also coming into the team to replace the injured Takehiro Tomiyasu at right back. Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey are restored to the midfield, after coming on as substitutes in midweek.

Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard start with Gabriel Martinelli up front, with Gabriel Jesus back on the bench, after playing the first 45 minutes on Thursday.

There's a place on the bench for 18-year-old defender Reuell Walters.

Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Walters, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Jesus.
