After a nervy 1-0 win over West Brom last time out, Arsenal will be hoping for easier going when they entertain Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day.

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates for the first match of 2017 and they will be without seven players for the game. This is how we think Arsenal will lineup for the game.

It’s Boxing Day and our lighter-than-usual festive schedule kicks off against West Brom, so how will Arsenal line up?

After a surprising 2-1 away defeat in midweek at the hands of Everton, it’s essential that Arsenal come away with a good result against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side given how the Premier League table is rapidly forming at the top.

Arsenal travel to Manchester City on Sunday to face a team who are supposed to be our title rivals.

After a satisfying home victory against Stoke on Saturday afternoon, it’s another away trip for Arsenal as they face an Everton side eager to make amends for a collectively poor defensive display in their 3-2 defeat against Watford this past weekend.

It’s likely that the side Arsene Wenger fields against Everton on Tuesday won’t be much different to the one that beat Stoke 3-1 at the weekend.

Arsenal will be keen to extend their unbeaten run with a tough home fixture against Stoke on Saturday, a side that have proven menacing in seasons gone by.

After Arsenal performed well against FC Basel midweek, I think a couple of players will get rewarded with starts against Stoke on Saturday.

After a morale-boosting 5-1 away victory against West Ham on Saturday evening, an away trip to Switzerland to face Basel is next in store for Arsenal to finish this year’s UEFA Champions League group stages.

Champions League time and the final group game leaves us knowing we need PSG to do us a favour in order to top the group.

After Arsenal’s unbeaten run was ended in underwhelming fashion in an EFL Cup quarter-final against Southampton on Wednesday, it’s a welcome return to Premier League football for Arsène Wenger’s side.

After crashing out of the EFL Cup to Southampton midweek, Arsenal are expected to field a very different starting XI against West Ham on Saturday.
