Arsenal have confirmed that Kieran Tierney and Nicolas Pepe didn't make the squad for the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace due to injury and illness.
The Gunners travel to Selhurst Park for a crucial match in the race for the top four without two of their senior players. Both were in action during the international break and netted goals in friendies for Scotland and Ivory Coast respectively but miss out for Monday night's clash.
Arsenal have now confirmed that Tierney misses out on tonight's match due to a knee injury. The Scottish international is replaced in the starting line up by Nuno Tavares who is making his first start for the club since being taken off before half time in January's shock FA Cup third round defeat to Nottingham Forest.
