*Arsenal’s Predicted XI vs Crystal Palace: A High-Stakes Trip to Selhurst Park**
Arsenal face Crystal Palace for the second time in just a week, as they travel to Selhurst Park for an important Saturday evening fixture. After a hard-fought 1-0 victory at the Emirates, the Gunners are looking to build on that momentum, but with a quick turnaround and a challenging away game ahead, Mikel Arteta will need to carefully select his squad to avoid any slip-ups against a resilient Palace side.
**Team News and Updates:**
Arsenal go into the match with a solid squad, but Arteta’s biggest concern might be managing player fatigue after a hectic few weeks. Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, who played key roles in their recent win, have been carrying slight knocks, and Arteta will need to weigh the risks of starting them again. Meanwhile, there is good news for the Gunners as Gabriel Martinelli is expected to return to the squad after recovering from injury, providing Arsenal with an added offensive spark.
On the Crystal Palace side, Roy Hodgson’s team will be confident after their own strong performances at home. They have shown resilience this season, though they have been hit by injuries. Wilfried Zaha remains sidelined, and Palace’s attacking depth could be tested against a well-drilled Arsenal defense. However, the Eagles are always dangerous at Selhurst Park, where the atmosphere can be electrifying.
