Arsenal must wait and watch their Champions League qualification rivals play over the weekend, before this tricky assignment on Monday night. Mikel Arteta may be without goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, while Bukayo Saka is expected to be available after missing England matches due to Covid. The Gunners cannot expect any favours from their former title-winning captain Patrick Vieira as he steels his mid-table Palace side for an upcoming FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea. Niall McVeigh
