Team news: Three debutants for Palace game
Summer signings Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have been named in our first starting line-up of the Premier League season, as two of three players making their official Gunners debuts at Crystal Palace this evening.
The two recruits from Manchester City are joined by William Saliba in the starting XI, as Mikel Arteta names the same side that started the convincing pre-season victories against Chelsea and Sevilla.
That means that Gabriel partners Saliba in the heart of defence, with Ben White the other full-back. Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka and captain Martin Odegaard make up a midfield trio, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli joining Jesus in attack.
