Rob Holding is the only change from the last Premier League game, as William Saliba misses out for Arsenal and Crystal Palace through injury.

Arsenal have named the strongest possible lineup for the home game against Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta has made plenty of changes from the midweek loss to Sporting CP but only one from their last Premier League game against Fulham.

Takehiro Tomiyasu and William Saliba miss out through injuries, with Rob Holding taking the Frenchman’s spot in the eleven. Gabriel Jesus is on the bench alongside Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson. Other than that, the team looks familiar and boasts some strong players.

Aaron Ramsdale keeps his place in goal. He will be protected by a back four of Ben White, Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Thomas Partey comes into the base of midfield and will have Martin Odegaard and Granit Xhaka on either side.

Bukayo Saka starts on the right-hand side of the attack, and Leandro Trossard returns to lead the line for Arsenal. Gabriel Martinelli will hope to continue his scoring run as he features on the left flank.

Arsenal Starting Lineup: Ramsdale, Ben White, Holding, Gabriel Magalhaes, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
