Mikel Arteta has made four changes to his side for today’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace, with Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko fit enough to start.
Alex missed our previous two matches through injury while Gabriel Jesus sat out our FA Cup exit to Liverpool, but both return to our team today for the visit of the Eagles.
Elsewhere, Leandro Trossard is given the nod to start on the one-year anniversary of his arrival at the club, while David Raya returns in goal. Aaron Ramsdale, Jakub Kiwior, Jorginho and Reiss Nelson return to the bench to accommodate the four alterations.
Roy Hodgson has made two switches to the line-up that started Palace’s FA Cup replay defeat at Everton on Wednesday night, with Dean Henderson preferred to Sam Johnstone in goal.
The other change is up top with Jean-Philippe Mateta leading the line instead of Odsonne Edouard.
Arsenal: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Saka, Trossard, Jesus.
Subs: Ramsdale, Cedric, Walters, Kiwior, Jorginho, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Martinelli, Nketiah.
Palace: Henderson, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Richards, Lerma, Hughes, Eze, Schlupp, Mateta.
Subs: Johnstone, Adaramola, Tomkins, Riedewald, Ozoh, Ahamada, Ebiowei, Franca, Edouard
