Team news: Jesus starts at Palace | Team news | News

Mikel Arteta has made seven changes from the side that faced Crystal Palace at home on Wednesday, to take on the same opposition in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Our hat-trick hero from that midweek win, Gabriel Jesus, retains his place up front though – David Raya, Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber also stay in the starting lineup.

Other than that there is rotation – so Gabriel and William Saliba return in central defence, while Myles Lewis-Skelly is back to start his second consecutive Premier League game. Riccardo Calafiori and Declan Rice have both recovered from injury to take their places on the bench.

Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli all come back into the side as well, alongside Bukayo Saka, who makes his 250th appearance for us, at the age of just 23.

The hosts have made three changes from their midweek lineup at Emirates Stadium. Nathaniel Clyne, Daichi Kamada and Chris Richards all come in, for Caleb Kporha, Ebere Eze and Trevoh Chalobah. Former Gunner Eddie Nketiah, who scored on Wednesday, is among the subs.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Odegaard, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.
