It’s back in action in the Premier League on Thursday as the Gunners host Crystal Palace!
Thomas Partey is healthy again, and should see plenty of game time.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI…
[4-2-3-1]
Lacazette
Aubameyang, Smith Rowe, Saka
Xhaka, Partey
Tierney, Mari, Holding, Bellerin
Leno
Predicted final score…
ARSENAL 3 – Crystal Palace 1
