Manchester United faced a shambolic defeat against Everton before the start of Arsenal-Palace game, where Arsenal had a chance to climb up to 3rd in the points table. But they totally misused the opportunity as they also let go of 3 points from this weekend's match after a narrow defeat in front of the stupendous Emirates crowd.
Arsenal's boss Unai Emery opted to add new faces in the line-up. With the gloves in hands, Leno started under the bars, while Konstantinos Mavropanos made a three-man defense with Koscielny and Mustafi at the back.
Mohamed Elneny, Carl Jenkinson, Matteo Guendouzi, and Sead Kolasinac started the match in Arsenal colours.
Both Aubameyang and Lacazette made their way in the offensive line with Mesut Ozil in the supporting role.

With 17th-minute on the clock, ex-Liverpool striker, Christian Benteke's header from the middle of the box gave an early lead. Palace captain Luka Milivojevic named his first assist of the match.
