Arsenal predicted lineup vs. Crystal Palace: Premier League

Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park for a clash with Crystal Palace just three days after eliminating the team from the Carabao Cup.

After an early goal by Jean-Philippe Mateta, Wednesday looked like it could be another tumultuous cup night for Mikel Arteta. A second-half hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus lifted the Gunners into the semi-finals as Arteta looks for another piece of silverware.

As such, Jesus should be in line to get a fresh start. Plus, Arteta confirmed that both Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are available for selection at the weekend after recovering.

Here’s how Arsenal could line up when they travel to Selhurst Park.
