Arsenal v Crystal Palace: Holding replaces Saliba in Blank Gameweek 28
The final match of Blank Gameweek 28 will see Arsenal, currently the Premier League leaders, welcome managerless Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium. The game offers Mikel Arteta’s side a chance to extend their lead at the top of the league to eight points, while the Eagles, who sacked Patrick Vieira on Friday, have yet to secure a win in 2023.
Kick-off for the match is at 14:00 GMT.
The Arsenal squad has undergone only one change from the team that beat Fulham 3-0 in Gameweek 27. Rob Holding will replace William Saliba, who was substituted in the midweek game with Sporting CP due to some “discomfort”.
Despite playing the full 120 minutes in the midweek game, Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli will all start for Arsenal. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace’s Joel Ward and Luka Milivojevic will replace Nathan Clyne and Albert Sambi-Lokonga respectively.
However, Crystal Palace have had to make an unexpected substitution before the start of the game. Joachim Andersen picked up an injury during the warm-up and will be replaced by James Tomkins. This change will mean Jairo Riedewald will move to the bench.
