Arsenal is currently in a title race as they sit at the top of the Premier League table with 66 points after 27 games. However, they are closely followed by second-placed Manchester City, who has 61 points. The Gunners will be looking to maintain their lead with a win against Crystal Palace.
Unfortunately, Arsenal crashed out of the UEFA Europa League in the round of 16 on Thursday after losing in penalties against Sporting Lisbon. To make matters worse, Tomiyasu got injured in this game and is now unavailable for selection. This leaves Arsenal with only Ben White as their only right-back option.
Crystal Palace will not be an easy opponent as their new manager will be looking to start on a high by getting a win over league leaders, Arsenal. Arsenal will be confident of getting a win at home and maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
In conclusion, Arsenal’s provisional squad looks strong despite some injury setbacks. They will need to be at their best if they want to get all three points against Crystal Palace on Sunday. A win would go a long way towards securing their place at the top of the Premier League table.
