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

Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner must work around the suspension of Daniel Munoz for Saturday's Premier League London derby with Arsenal at Selhurst Park.

The Colombian defender was booked for the fifth time in the top-flight campaign during last weekend's 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, thus incurring a one-match competition ban.

However, Munoz was not involved in Wednesday's 3-2 EFL Cup quarter-final loss to the Gunners anyway, as 18-year-old Caleb Kporha played the first 45 before being replaced by Nathaniel Clyne.

Glasner might also have Joel Ward available again following a calf issue, but the experienced Clyne should get the nod on Saturday, where the bulk of Glasner's team will otherwise remain unchanged.

Marc Guehi, Trevoh Chalobah and Maxence Lacroix should form a recognisable barrier in front of Dean Henderson, but Glasner may be tempted to introduce fresh legs into midfield, as Cheick Doucoure pushes to displace Jefferson Lerma.

The in-form Will Hughes is a mainstay in the Eagles' setup, though, and the attacking triumvirate of Eberechi Eze, Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta should also stick together, despite Eddie Nketiah's terrific consolation header against his old team in midweek.

Adam Wharton (groin), Matheus Franca (groin), Rob Holding (disciplinary) and Chadi Riad (fitness) are all expected to be unavailable for this London derby.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Clyne, Hughes, Doucoure, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta
