Arsenal v Crystal Palace team line-ups: Paddy McCarthy makes two changes with Gunners loanee unavailable
Paddy McCarthy has named Joel Ward and Luka Milivojevic in his first Crystal Palace starting line-up.

Palace are the only Premier League side without a win in 2023 and are three points above the relegation zone.
Joe Whitworth, 19, also continues in goal after making his Premier League and club debut in the 1-1 draw at Brighton on Wednesday.
Albert Sambi Lokonga – on loan from the Gunners – and Nathaniel Clyne drop out of the starting line-up.
Palace starting 11: Whitworth; Ward, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Milivojevic, Schlupp, Doucoure; Zaha, Edouard, Olise.
Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
