Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Crystal Palace, Jesus starts

20 January 2024 - 11:52

Arsenal will be aiming to end a three-match winless run when they host Crystal Palace in the Premier League today. 

Chelsea suffer big injury blow ahead of Everton game

Enzo Fernandez refuses to rule out Chelsea exit

The Gunners are currently five points adrift of leaders Liverpool and can temporarily reduce the gap to two points with a victory over the Eagles. 

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has been an undisputed starter in the league since September and he is expected to start between the sticks ahead of Aaron Ramsdale. 

In defence, no changes are on the cards. Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Jakub Kiwior are braced to start in the derby. 

With the Eagles playing with a low block, Jorginho could drop to the bench. Declan Rice could be partnered by Kai Havertz in the heart of the midfield. 

Further forward, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard are nailed-on starters in the right wing and number 10 roles respectively. 

Gabriel Martinelli looks set to be reinstated on the left wing ahead of Reiss Nelson after his cameo in the FA Cup loss

Gabriel Jesus should lead the attack after returning from a knee issue. He will be eyeing his first goal since the Brighton game. 

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Rice, Havertz; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus.
