The Gunners recently registered a 3-2 win over the Eagles in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. They trailed 1-0 at the interval, but made a terrific comeback.
The club dominated proceedings in the second half and won the derby at the Emirates Stadium by a 3-2 scoreline after a maiden club hat-trick for Gabriel Jesus.
Arsenal will now face the Eagles in the league on the road tomorrow. Ahead of the game, Arteta has provided an injury update on four Arsenal stars.
The manager confirmed that Declan Rice will be back in the squad after a minor knock while Riccardo Calafiori has recovered from his groin problem.
Arteta added that Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko have also recovered from their respective issues and will be available for tomorrow’s clash.
He told reporters (via football.london): “Rice and Calafiori are both available to be in the squad. Tomiyasu and Zinchenko probably available as well.”
Correction: Tomiyasu isn’t available to face Palace at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal have received a timely triple injury boost and Arteta will be hoping that the club can build another winning streak in the English top-flight.
The club have lost their way recently with back-to-back draws against Fulham and Everton. They need a much better showing at Selhurst Park this weekend.
Palace won’t be an easy opposition to face. The Gunners were troubled by the Eagles in the first half in midweek, but managed to step up after the break.
The Eagles are in good league form with nine points from the last five outings and Arsenal need to be at their best to come on top with another derby win.
The return of Rice and Calafiori is a big plus for the Gunners. We won’t be surprised if the duo are reinstated immediately into the starting XI by Arteta.
