Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace Match Thread
Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates in a top-of-the-table clash that nobody predicted at the start of the season.
Palace are the surprise side of the first quarter of the Premier League season, along with Sunderland. Oliver Glasner’s side were holding second in the table for a while and were the last unbeaten side in the PL until falling to Everton at the start of the month.
Arsenal are top but Manchester City are right on their heels, as are a handful of other teams in the chasing pack. The Gunners could help thin out the table by continuing to win matches.
Crystal Palace's Strengths
Glasner, who led Palace to an FA cup triumph in the spring, has made his side difficult to beat. They are well-organized and don’t concede too many goals.
- Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Munoz are a dangerous duo down the right.
- Yeremy Pino provides craft on the left.
