Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

Quotes from the boss, stats and facts, referee details - it's all covered in our comprehensive look at Sunday's match.

We knew the game could go to extra time and we have to manage that and he looked okay.” Palace midfielders James McArthur and Will Hughes trained on Friday after missing the last two Premier League matches. “Tomiyasu looks pretty serious, for his reaction straight away and what he said to me,” Mikel said in his post-Sporting press conference. Teenager goalkeeper, Joe Whitworth, made his debut at Brighton on Wednesday, with Vicente Guaita and Sam Johnstone both injured in midweek. He had some discomfort and could not carry on, so we had to take him off.” “That obviously said, we’ve only got a short amount of time to implement a few ideas, so I don’t want to flood the players with too much information. Mikel Arteta on Palace: “It’s 11 games to play for, 11 Premier League games, and a big final against Crystal Palace. The Eagles haven’t scored in their last four league matches - but they have proved tough to break down. Paddy McCarthy on us: “We’ll try and implement an aggressive style out of possession in different ways. “We have 11 finals to go and that’s it, that’s the main focus now,” Martin Odegaard told us after our penalty shoot-out defeat to Sporting CP. Our record in London derbies during 2022/23 has been nothing short of faultless. “It is with enormous regret that this difficult decision has been made,” chairman Steve Parish told CPFC.co.uk.

Sunday's sole Premier League game should have constituted a homecoming for one of north London's favorite sons but Patrick Vieira will be nowhere to be seen ...

We just have to focus on every game. "We have to look to Sunday. Every time we have come back and changed the situation again. Though the former France international departed with warm words from chairman Steve Parish, patience ultimately snapped due to Palace's woeful run of form in front of goal, most notably a three game streak before Wednesday's loss to Brighton where they failed to register a single shot on target and averaged 0.35 expected goals per game. With 21 goals from 27 games, the Eagles have the division's fourth worst offensive record, a disappointing return from a squad that includes Ebere Eze, Wilfried Zaha, Michael Olise and Odsonne Edouard, though injuries did rob Vieira of several of those players. "Every time we have lost this season we have learned something from it. We have to show [our new mentality] now. "We have to move forward now," said captain Martin Odegaard after the defeat to Sporting. This weekend they instead have an opportunity to push eight points clear in the first of what so many in north London are terming 11 finals. We just have to change the mindset again. Here is how you can watch the match and what you need to know: Sunday's sole Premier League game should have constituted a homecoming for one of north London's favorite sons but Patrick Vieira will be nowhere to be seen at the Emirates Stadium after Crystal Palace abruptly sacked their head coach on Friday morning.

It's back to the Premier League title fight for Arsenal, but an old friend is no longer coming with Crystal Palace to the Emirates.

Leon Bailey will be looking to make amends for the penalty he conceded in a 1-1 draw with West Ham. He was a star at the World Cup with England and his early goals and assists in games have been a key feature of Arsenal’s title push. Odegaard was always seen as a silky playmaker but he’s added extra grit and drive to his play and his connection with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli is a big reason why Arsenal are challenging for the title. He is a special talent, a powerhouse and a goal-machine. He needs more help to share the goalscoring burden but he is seeing plenty of chances fall his way as United play direct and to his strengths. His consistency is remarkable and Kane is on track to beat his best-ever PL haul of 30. He has had dips in form this season and has struggled a little with injuries but he still delivers mind-boggling moments consistently and is always hungry to deliver. They have been terrible at home this season though, winning just twice and they have the worst home record in the Premier League. “Before today I prefer to hide this situation and to try to speak, to try to improve the spirit, the situation, with the words, With a lot of situations. The point moves Southampton (23 points) to within a point of West Ham and Bournemouth in 18th and 19th, respectively, but now three points away from safety following results elsewhere on Saturday. Hope is a dangerous thing, as they say, especially against a side fighting and scrapping for its survival in the top flight of English football.

[Bukayo Saka](https://www.football.london/all-about/bukayo-saka) comes back into the starting line-up for me, and Gabriel Martinelli deserves a chance to bounce back from his penalty disappointment. For me, that means a start for William Saliba but only on the condition that the Frenchman is fit. In midfield, it is a straightforward decision for Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard to return. 10 to serve a timely reminder of his qualities and to prove he's ready to aid the title charge. It's a massive game on Sunday for a couple of reasons. Again, factoring in Thursday night's game and Gabriel Martinelli's exploits and I think it might be Emile Smith Rowe time. That means Aaron Ramsdale starts despite his underwhelming showing in the penalty shootout on Thursday. Up front, I think I'd give Gabriel Jesus the start, particularly after Leandro Trossard played all the way through extra-time in midweek despite being just back from an injury himself. With Granit Xhaka getting back to his attacking best, I'd definitely start him as well, particularly Below, they name their respective starting line-ups for the Premier League leaders against Crystal Palace.
