Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Monday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Arsenal are once again expected to make do without first-choice goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale for Monday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The 23-year-old picked up a hip injury before the international break, and Mikel Arteta is pessimistic about his chances of being fit for this London derby.

Bukayo Saka is fit and available after withdrawing from the England squad with COVID-19, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is "close" to returning from his latest calf problem.

Tomiyasu will likely only make the bench if he is deemed fit enough, with Cedric Soares holding his place at right-back as Bernd Leno once again deputises for Leno in goal.

Gabriel Magalhaes and his partner recently celebrated the birth of their child, and the Brazilian will form his established pairing with Ben White in an unchanged backline from the win at Aston Villa.

Thomas Partey sent Ghana to the World Cup over the international break and is set to link up with Granit Xhaka again, as Martin Odegaard continues further forward.

Saka is expected to take his spot on the right-hand side, while Gabriel Martinelli might be preferred to Emile Smith Rowe following the latter's fitness scare during the international break.

Alexandre Lacazette came off the bench to score a last-minute equaliser in this fixture at the Emirates earlier this season, and the captain will lead the line from the off here.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Leno; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Lacazette
