Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Jesus goals, Saka injury and Palace

Mikel Arteta is set to face the press after Arsenal's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The game off to a flying start for the Gunners and for Gabriel Jesus in particular who kept up his hot streak inside six minutes.

Palace weren't going down lightly though and equalised almost immediately through a superb curling effort by Ismaila Sarr.

A seesaw affair saw Arsenal regain the lead minute later when Jesus was again on hand to fire home a second. The Brazilian would turn provider around the half hour mark when Kai Havertz turned in his header that had bounced off the post.

Jesus was involved again for the fourth Arsenal goal as the rebound from his close-range effort fell to Declan Rice whose effort fired in off Gabriel Martinelli. Rice then added a fifth late on with a lovely looping effort.

The only blemish on a positive night for the Gunners was seeing Bukayo Saka go off with what appeared to be a hamstring problem.

You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and much more with **football.london**'s chief Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak in our live blog below.

Gabriel Jesus is an obvious standout once again today! Just loves Crystal Palace. Special shout out to Rice who was great off the bench. Saliba not at his best though.
