Leno And Martinelli To Start, Smith Rowe Out: Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Take On Crystal Palace

Leno And Martinelli To Start, Smith Rowe Out: Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Take On Crystal Palace

From the way that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was talking about Aaron Ramsdale’s fitness at his pre-match press conference yesterday, it doesn’t suggest that he’ll be available to face Crystal Palace on Monday.

With Bernd Leno having filled in ably, though, during the 1-0 win against Aston Villa last time out, fans shouldn’t be overly concerned if Ramsdale sits out another match.


Palace will be tough opponents, with Patrick Vieira making them a very competitive mid-table team. They managed to hold on to a 0-0 draw versus Manchester City at Selhurst Park before the international break, so expect this to be a tight contest.
