The final match of Blank Gameweek 28 features league-leaders Arsenal, who welcome managerless Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta’s troops head into the international break with a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points, while the Eagles sacked Patrick Vieira on Friday and are without a win in 2023 thus far.

Kick-off is at 14:00 GMT.

The hosts make just one change from the side that beat Fulham 3-0 in Gameweek 27, as Rob Holding replaces William Saliba, who had some “discomfort” and came off in the midweek game with Sporting CP.

That means Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli all start, despite lasting 120 minutes in that match.

As for Crystal Palace, Paddy McCarthy makes two alterations, as Joel Ward and Luka Milivojevic come in for Nathan Clyne and Albert Sambi-Lokonga. The latter is on loan from Arsenal and unable to play against his parent club.

Joe Whitworth, meanwhile, is again in goal.

* Joachim Andersen has picked up an injury during the warm-up, so James Tomkins comes in to replace him. Jairo Riedewald moves onto the bench.

GAMEWEEK 28 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Odegaard, Xhaka, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard

  13. Baps Hunter

    • 8 Years

    No handball 🙁

    And timing for us Zinchenko owners...

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Story of this season though 😉 Well... Perhaps next season is better than this one. It can't be worse tbh.

  14. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Irish Haaland scores

  15. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Big Ferg goal

    Big Mac assist

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Literally the last thing before Zinchenko was substituted. That is ridiculous.

  17. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    You could not sub Zinčenko off 2 mins ago???

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No break 🙁

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        White (+ someone else) played badly and gifted that corner 🙁

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          White and Xhaka. Zero brain in that 2 heads. And they celebrated that cleaning. No luck for me...

  18. Glasner Ball

    Lovely Palace, got to keep this goal difference down for our relegation end of season run in.

  19. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    I haven't been this annoyed with this game in a while 😆 why couldn't Zinchenko be subbed before the corner aaaahhhhhhh

  20. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ferguson G
    Mac Allister A

  21. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 9 months ago

    That Brighton goal was fantastic. Ferguson is thre real deal.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Will he start in the double do you think?

  22. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wow... Waste of a FH. Atm I'm only 14p better than my original team, my original team would have had 6 or 7 players in total.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Martinez just about the only good thing I did on FH, but I'm still outscoring my non-FH team by 40 points.

  23. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Ben White owners complaining when he got an assist, be happy with that.

  24. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    5 defenders + GK. 0 clean sheets.

  25. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    First league goal in almost seven hours for Palace

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Schlupptacular

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        another one and it would be 1 Schlup 2 Goals

      2. Planet Head
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Unbelievable Jeffrey

  26. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    So Zinch lost cs, saka gets 3 bonus and Marti 1. Just sums my season up. Leicester also decided to play their best defensive game for the entire season. Andersen goes off in warm up. If I knew, Saka would kept cap.

  27. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Why the F did White boot it out in the first place?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He doesn't understand that corners are dangerous.

  28. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    42 is the current LMS safety score with bonus/autosubs.

    On 42 so another Palace goal or some Od magic would help.

    1. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      My run was good whilst it lasted... currently on 17 so that will most certainly be me knocked out. oh well, there's always next season. great comp TorresMagic. kudos !

  29. wakenbagel
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any news on Estupinan getting subbed at half-time? Hoping it is because he is gonna travel during the intl. break

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I highly doubt that RDZ would sub a player halfway through a QF because he has international games next week

      1. Forgetmeknot
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Perhaps conversely, they don’t want him to travel as he is nursing a ‘minor injury’ and had to bring him off at half time. Maybe over thinking it will be interesting to see what is said

      2. wakenbagel
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        He should stay at Brighton just to be cautious then 😀 If it is minor enough he'll be ready for the double !

  30. Debauchy

    Love Arsenal love the cleanie lost too having had to take out Saliba for Cash .

    1. Planet Head
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Wow well done.

      How much cash did you get?

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        A bit more than I would have got from Saliba , Oh had Mings too
