Arsenal XI vs Crystal Palace: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Premier League | OneFootball

Mikel Arteta could make two changes as in-form Gunners return to top-flight action in all-London contest

Drought over: Viktor Gyokeres scored twice for Arsenal in their 4-0 rout of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta faces a selection dilemma on the left flank ahead of Sunday’s clash against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

The pair performed well, with Lewis-Skelly setting up Martinelli for Arsenal’s second goal in a 14-minute second-half blitz at the Emirates Stadium.

Calafiori has started all eight of Arsenal’s Premier League games so far this season, excelling at left-back. Tuesday was the first time that Trossard had been left on the bench since last month after starting the previous four games in a row.

Arteta is unlikely to make many more changes, given that Arsenal face Brighton in the Carabao Cup last 16 on Wednesday night.

The clash with the Seagulls presents the Spaniard with the option to heavily rotate his side, as he did in the last round at Port Vale.

Arsenal have made an excellent start to the Premier League season, losing just once. David Raya will continue in goal on Sunday, while Jurrien Timber is expected to start at right-back.

Gabriel and William Saliba will play in the heart of defence, with Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi the likely midfield trio in the absence of injured captain Martin Odegaard.

In attack, Bukayo Saka should captain the side and Viktor Gyokeres will want to build off scoring twice against Atletico on Tuesday.

Noni Madueke remains sidelined, along with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus.

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard

Injured: Havertz, Madueke, Jesus, Odegaard (all knee)

Time and date: 2pm GMT on Sunday October 26, 2025

Venue: Emirates Stadium, London
