ARS vs CRY: Arsenal Team News, Possible Lineup, And Kickoff Time Ahead Of Saturday's PL London Derby

Arsenal will have a chance to end their disappointing three-game winless streak in the English Premier League when they play host to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Gunners will be going into the high-profile Premier League showdown after their disappointing 2-1 loss to Fulham in their last outing, and they will be looking for a much-needed victory over Crystal Palace in a bid to revive their league title dreams.

Team News:

In a positive development for Arsenal, ACL victim Jurrien Timber was seen back in action during the team's winter training camp in Dubai. The Dutchman, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, was captured running on the pitches and engaging in individual ball work, providing a glimmer of hope for his eventual return to the first team. However, it is emphasized that it will still take some time before Timber can be considered fit for competitive matches.

As the Gunners prepare for upcoming challenges, they face several injury concerns. Midfield duo Thomas Partey (thigh) and Fabio Vieira (groin) are not expected to return until next month. Additionally, defensive stalwart Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are currently away on international duty, adding to the team's absentee list. The availability of Oleksandr Zinchenko remains uncertain due to a calf issue.

In the event Zinchenko is unable to recover in time, the left-back spot might be entrusted to Kiwior, who could seize the opportunity for redemption. On a positive note, Gabriel Jesus seems to have fully recovered from a knee niggle that sidelined him in the recent loss to Liverpool, offering Arsenal a boost in their attacking options.

Arsenal's possible starting lineup vs Crystal Palace:

Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Martinelli, Jesus.

Kickoff Time:

The Premier League clash will begin at exactly 1:30 PM (Nigerian Time) on Saturday in London.
