There are six days to go before the Gunners return to the pitch to take on Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal will have just five games on their fixture list before the next international breaks rolls around in November.
The return of Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira will be a major storyline before and during the Crystal Place match as Vieira returns to manage against the club where he became a Premier League “Invincible.”
With that said, let’s take look at who I think Mikel Arteta will start on Monday v the Eagles…
[4-3-3]
Aubameyang
Smith Rowe, Odegaard, Saka
Partey, Lokonga
Tierney, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: ARSENAL 2 – Crystal Palace 1
