Mikel Arteta has named his Arsenal team to take on Crystal Palace as they look to return back to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Gunners are looking to stop a run of back-to-back draws they suffered in the division, which has kept them behind the pace in the title race.
There is a familiarity with the Eagles, with the two teams having faced off in midweek during the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
It was Arsenal who came out on top in that one, even with some rotation to the squad, though it’s a new day and a new game when they reunite at Selhurst Park in Premier League action on Sunday.
When it came to Mikel Arteta naming his team, there was a different side lining up to the one earlier in the week.
Arsenal injury returns for Crystal Palace clash as team revealed
Arsenal have been handed a major injury boost with their team news that has been revealed for their clash with Crystal Palace.
There were a handful of worries heading into the tie, with a few key players missing over recent weeks.
Declan Rice was struggling with an injury against Everton, which saw him out of the squad completely in midweek.
Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko have been out injured too, with the duo missing out in recent weeks.
Fortunately for Arteta, two of those three are back in the squad to face Crystal Palace, coming as a big boost for the side.
Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are back in the squad on the bench, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is still seemingly out of action.
There were starts for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Jurrien Timber at full-back, while Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz both start in a shock twist.
That team leaves injuries for just Zinchenko, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu, with the latter pair dealing with long-term issues and still recovering.
Crystal Palace team to face Arsenal confirmed
As Arsenal have named their team, Crystal Palace have also revealed the side they will be lining up for the match.
Eberechi Eze is out through injury, with the attacking playmaker picking up an issue in the EFL Cup clash, coming as a blow to the side.
Eddie Nketiah has a place on the bench, despite scoring against the Gunners last time out, which will likely see him come on later in the match.
