Arsenal – Crystal Palace
6th vs 12th
Alexis Sanchez was the architect of Palace´s defeat last time these teams met. The Chilean was left out of Arsenal´s squad at Bournemouth last weekend, and even if he still is an Arsenal player, there is no guarantee he will feature. Arsene Wenger said he will start, but there is speculated abouat an ”injury”. Alexis will leave this January, that is for sure.
Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal could make their return this weekend.
Mesut Özil and Maitland Niles is a big maybe to this match.
Palace are plagued by an injury crisis with Townsend, Schlupp, Sakho, J.Ward, Dann, Wickham and Puncheon all likely to miss the match.
