Jesus scored a stunning hat-trick against Palace on Wednesday night when Arsenal beat them 3-2 to book a place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The striker has struggled for form this season, but his performance on Wednesday night could prove to be a turning point and he’s been given the chance from the start once again.

Jesus leads the line with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli offering support from out wide.

In midfield, Kai Havertz is set to partner Thomas Partey and captain Martin Odegaard with the fit again Declan Rice named on the bench alongside Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Myles Lewis-Skelly retains his place in the team at left-back. Jurrien Timber is restored at right-back, with Gabriel and William Saliba in the heart of defence.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
