The Premier League weekend concludes tonight with Arsenal's brief trip through the capital for a London derby against Crystal Palace. Both teams have won their opening game of the season and know how important all three points in this duel could be for their season.
Palace and manager Roy Hodgson, still beaming after securing Michael Olise's future, are looking to end their streak of a win in eight games against the Gunners after they were comfortably beaten twice in that game last season. The Eagles are still without new signing Matheus Franca and have nominated an unchanged team.
Mikel Arteta has Oleksandr Zinchenko back on the bench today as Arsenal begin life without injured new signing Jurrien Timber. The guests are likely to find a win essential if they want to fight for the title again.
