Hello and welcome to Arsenal's match with Crystal Palace...

The visitors have seem relatively happy to allow Palace to have the ball in their own half but as soon as the Eagles get near the Arsenal half, the Gunners press, press and press.

Palace get us underway and are straight on the attack; they go direct but the new and improved Arsenal back four take care of it with minimal fuss.

Arsenal, captained by Mesut Ozil on his 150th appearance for the club, can move joint second with a win – it would represent their eighth in the league in a row. All the more impressive considering they lost their opening two games of the season.

Roy Hodgson had a similar impact at Palace last season, but the Eagles are on a poor run of form – they sit 15th, having lost three and drawn one of their last five games.

Emery has made quite the impact at the Emirates – see below. One of the biggest beneficiaries of said impact is Alex Iwobi, who has been a sensation this season.

So, Palace start with Zaha in the attack – which basically means they have a fractional chance of winning a game against the greatest team to kick a football, Arsenal FC. Arsenal are currently on run of 11 games on the bounce.

There you are... big news for Arsenal is that Aubameyang starts after four goals from the bench (that is coming on from the bench, not scoring directly from it) in his last two games...

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Wan-Bissaka, Sakho, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Milivojevic, Kouyate, McArthur, Townsend, Zaha, Ayew

Arsenal: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Xhaka, Torreira, Guendouzi, Iwobi, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Let's crack on with the teams then, eh?
