Antonio Valencia returns after being rested for the midweek clash, while Juan Mata (groin), Phil Jones (toe) and Chris Smalling (knee) are long-term absentees.

MONDAY'S GAME

- CRYSTAL PALACE

Crystal Palace will be without midfielder Yohan Cabaye as their injury-hit squad prepare to host Arsenal at Selhurst Park. Cabaye was substituted at half-time during Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at Southampton after picking up a calf strain and boss Sam Allardyce has confirmed the France international is unavailable. Scott Dann, Pape Souare, James Tomkins, Fraser Campbell and Connor Wickham are also out, with Patrick van Aanholt likely to be absent as well. James McArthur (back) could return, though, while Joe Ledley is available after missing the Saints loss due to his wife giving birth.

- ARSENAL

Third-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will again deputise for Arsenal when they travel to Crystal Palace. The 24-year-old stepped in for the win over West Ham with both Petr Cech (calf) and David Ospina (back) sidelined, and neither will be fit for the game at Selhurst Park. Laurent Koscielny (Achilles) remains absent as does Lucas Perez (thigh), while Francis Coquelin returns after missing the midweek win due to personal matters.

Provisional squad: Martinez, Macey, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Mustafi, Monreal, Gibbs, Maitland-Niles, Coquelin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Walcott, Reine-Adelaide, Iwobi, Sanchez, Giroud, Welbeck.
