Crystal Palace vs Arsenal – Confirmed Lineups: Wenger Missing Three Names
Arsenal travel south of the river to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the London derby on Thursday.
The North London based outfit need three points in order to keep pace with Liverpool and Tottenham for a top four finish.
Arsene Wenger already confirmed before the game that he will be without three star names.
“Monreal, Giroud And Ramsey are out. Nacho ten days, Giroud four to six weeks but he is a quick healer, Ramsey beginning of January,” Wenger said.
“Giroud will be back at the beginning of January. He suffered the injury in the middle of December so four to six weeks is January 10-15.”

Palace head into the clash in great form having won eight games unbeaten (W3, D5) – their longest in the top flight since a 12-match streak in October 1990.
Arsenal meanwhile, have lost just one of their last eight games.
