Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Crystal Palace

Arsenal will hope to spoil Patrick Vieira's return party in North London when they face off against Crystal Palace in Monday's Premier League battle.

The Gunners were unable to secure a fourth win on the bounce just before the international break, as they were held to a goalless stalemate away at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mikel Arteta's side will begin the weekend in 11th place before gameweek eight fixtures kick off, but Vieira will travel to the Emirates desperate to get one over his former club.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match.
