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

Arsenal 4 Palace 1
The boys will be champing at the bit for this one.
Time to sort out our poor goal difference.
