Smith Rowe and Tomiyasu to start: Arsenal predicted XI vs Crystal Palace
Arsenal have a surprisingly fit lineup for this game which has been the story for Arteta’s side throughout the campaign. Perhaps no European distraction is helping them out, although it’s a ‘distraction’ that every singly one of their fan would have taken had it meant UEFA Champions League football. For this game against Palace, only Granit Xhaka sits out with an injury.
The Gunners are a strong team on paper and are in form. Couple that with their home advantage, and they look like the favourites to beat Patrick Vieira’s new-look, young Crystal Palace side that have been vulnerable in defence over the season so far. We go with a narrow 1-0 for the Gunners in this crucial Premier League encounter that will be so important to both these teams.
