Team News

Crystal Palace
Arsenal
  • Crystal Palace were boosted by the confirmation that Michael Olise has extended his stay at the club, though the Frenchman is not expected back until next month.
  • Matheus Franca and Will Hughes also miss Monday's welcome of Arsenal.
  • Roy Hodgson should go with the same XI that started the 1-0 win at Sheffield United.
  • Arsenal have been rocked by injury to Jurrien Timber, who will miss most, if not all of, the season.
  • The Dutchman joins Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Jesus on the sidelines, while Oleksandar Zinchenko, Folarin Balogun and Albert Sambi Lokonga face late fitness tests.
  • Takehiro Tomiyasu should start in place of Timber at left-back, in what may be the only change Mikel Arteta makes for Monday's trip across the capital.

Prediction

  • Crystal Palace got their season off to a winning start at Sheffield United last weekend with Odsonne Edouard's second half strike enough to secure all the spoils. The Eagles, though, have lost two of their last three home meetings with Arsenal.
  • The Gunners also earned an opening weekend win as they beat Nottingham Forest 2-1. They did make things difficult for themselves late on as Forest mounted a comeback, but Arsenal held firm.
  • Arsenal have lost only one of their last six trips to Selhurst Park, and they'll be confident of making it two wins from two to kick off the campaign.
