Arsenal predicted line up for Crystal Palace game – marquee signing ready to start?
An Arsenal predicted line up for tomorrow’s game away to Crystal Palace, with the Gunners looking to bounce back from an opening day defeat to West Ham United…
GK: Petr Cech
Still undisputed number one for Arsenal despite a poor showing on his debut against West Ham, Petr Cech will be in the starting XI against Palace this weekend.
DR: Hector Bellerin
Expected to return from injury, Hector Bellerin should be straight back into the starting line up in place of the disappointing Mathieu Debuchy.
DL: Nacho Monreal
Firmly ahead of Kieran Gibbs in the pecking order, Nacho Monreal should start at left-back again this weekend for the trip to Selhurst Park.

DC: Per Mertesacker
Not at his best last week, but Per Mertesacker should keep his place in the Arsenal team and will take the captain’s armband.
DC: Laurent Koscielny
An important part of this Arsenal side, Laurent Koscielny will start again this weekend, but will need to play better than he did against West Ham.
MC: Francis Coquelin
Superb in midfield last season, Francis Coquelin will have to show he was not a one-season-wonder with an improved performance against Palacd this week.
MC: Santi Cazorla
In a deep-lying creative role, Santi Cazorla will be influential for Arsenal in this match and will be hoping to score as he did against this side last season.
AMR: Theo Walcott
Back in the team after being dropped to the bench for West Ham, Theo Walcott should get a chance on the right flank at Selhurs Park.
AML: Alexis Sanchez
A big call perhaps, but Alexis Sanchez needs to be brought back into the team early after last week’s shock result, even if the £35m man is not quite fit after playing for Chile in Copa America this summer.
AMC: Mesut Ozil
In the number ten role, Mesut Ozil will be trusted again by the Gunners but needs to step up his game after a quiet showing against the Hammers.
FC: Olivier Giroud
Kept in the team, Olivier Giroud concludes our Arsenal predicted line up, and deserves another chance to prove himself as the club’s main man up front this season.
