Mikel Arteta has many tough decisions to make as Arsenal's 2022/23 season gets underway against Crystal Palace.
Whilst the Spaniard's starting line-up for the Premier League opener at Selhurst Park feels very much set in stone as summer signings Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko have been tipped to make their official debuts, he will have to leave a large number of first-team players at home.
