Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace for their first away game of the season. They come up against a Palace side who have improved a lot and have added some real quality, under Alan Pardew.
Petr Cech
Cech’s debut game didn’t exactly go according to the way everyone hoped but everyone knows about the quality he has and that the last game was just an off day at the office. He’s expected to resume his duties when Arsenal travel to Palace.
Mathieu Debuchy
Debuchy didn’t have the best of games last time around but for someone who’s been out for such a long time, he had a decent game. Obviously, he’ll need games to get back his match sharpness and Bellerin is currently out injured, so he’s expected to start on Sunday.
Per Mertesacker
The German had an average game against Palace. Arsene Wenger looks like he’ll keep faith in Mertesacker and start him on Sunday.
Laurent Koscielny
The Frenchman was one of the best players in game week one and is expected to start and continue his brilliant form.
Nacho Monreal
One of last season’s most consistent player, Monreal has been as solid as ever over the last 18 months. The Spaniard will certainly start against Palace.
Francis Coquelin
Coquelin wasn’t upto the desired mark as his role demands but the first game is a good wake up call and he’s expected to resume his role in the middle of the park.
Santi Cazorla
Cazorla’s exceptional technique and ability to play across many positions makes him a certain starter on Sunday.
Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey, against West Ham showed glimpses of the player we saw a season ago. He only needs game time to improve on his performances and will mostly start on Sunday.
Mesut Ozil
Often the scapegoat when the team looses, Ozil will most certainly start tomorrow in his favoured No.10 role.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Chamberlain was the best Arsenal player the last time around and his brilliant early season form means he’s an indispensable player right now.
Theo Walcott
Walcott is ecpected to start following a poor display by fellow teammate Olivier Giroud. The England international will provide much needed pace upfront.
