Arsenal team news: Gunners unchanged at Crystal Palace as Nicolas Pepe and Mesut Ozil both start

MIKEL ARTETA named an unchanged side for Arsenal’s trip to Crystal Palace as Nicolas Pepe and Mesut Ozil both start.

The Gunners beat Manchester United in their last Premier League game and it is no surprise that the new boss has opted for the same side at Selhurst Park.

Arsenal are unchanged from their last Premier League outing against Manchester United

Pepe is likely to start on the right with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in attack.

Ozil, meanwhile, looks set to operate in his favoured No10 role in front of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Toreira.

Bernd Leno is the man between the sticks once again.

And it is a regular back four with Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, David Luiz and Sead Kolasinac.

Rob Holding provides defensive cover on the bench with midfielders Joe Willock and Matteo Guendouzi.

Youngsters Reiss Nelson, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka complete the Arsenal bench.

For Crystal Palace, Roy Hodsgon named James Tomkins as captain in the absence of the suspended Luka Milivojevic, ahead of his centre-back partner Gary Cahill.

Wilfried Zaha will be looking to cause Maitland-Niles problems down the Eagles left with Jordan Ayew up front.

Cenk Tosun arrived on loan from Everton yesterday.

He is not ready to start with his new team-mates but will be desperate to make his debut and make an impact off the bench.
