Crystal Palace and Arsenal lock horns this evening as Selhurst Park plays host to a London derby.

The Eagles started their season with a win over Sheffield United and would love to make it two wins from two tonight.

Sam Johnstone starts in goal for Palace tonight with Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi and Tyrick Mitchell ahead of him as the back four.

Cheick Doucoure and Jefferson Lerma will protect the defence, allowing Eberechi Eze freedom to go forward.

Jordan Ayew and Jeffrey Schlupp will feature out wide with Odsonne Edouard starting through the middle.

Nathaniel Clyne makes the Palace bench tonight, joining Remi Matthews, James Tomkins, Chris Richards, Jairo Riedewald, Naouirou Ahamada, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and John-Kymani Gordon.

Arsenal go with Aaron Ramsdale between the sticks as Mikel Arteta continues with a rather unconventional back four.

Thomas Partey continues at right back with Takehiro Tomiyasu a rather surprise selection on the left side.

Benjamin White and William Saliba are the centre backs with Declan Rice start in holding midfield.

Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz feature further ahead in midfield with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli supporting Eddie Nketiah up top.

David Raya is on the Arsenal bench after securing his move from Brentford, joining Oleksandr Zinchenko, Jakub Kiwior, Gabriel Magalhaes, Jorginho, Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, Fabio Vieira and Leandro Trossard.

There is again no place in the squad for Kieran Tierney as he continues to be linked away from Arsenal.
