Arsenal will lick their wounds on Saturday, pull up their sleeves and do battle with Crystal Palace. After an unfortunate loss to Dortmund, the Gunners will be keen to get back to winning ways against struggling Palace in a London derby that is sure to be entertaining.
Palace just announced the appointment of Tony Pulis as their manager after sacking their last manager Ian Holloway. It is quite sad to think that the poor man did not get a chance to get things right after moving up from the championship. Some clubs will never learn, will they? Now in the coming months, expect Palace to employ a more brutal but efficient Foot-gby style championed by Tony Pulis. Hate him or love him, his style of football is guaranteed to keep them up still.
As they face us, in a transition and in low spirits, expect Arsenal to run riot at Selhurst Park. I would easily predict a win of 2 or more goals difference. You would expect Cazorla to start after firing up the Gunners against Dortmund in the Champions League. Jack Wilshere will; have tests but I expect him to be on the bench at best.
Predicted Starting Line up
Szczesney
Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs
Flamini, Arteta
Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla
Giroud
The difference between Arsenal now and seasons before is quite simple, CONFIDENCE! Mesut Ozil has reinstated confidence by his arrival and the boys now believe they can match any team. They will want to prove that they are back to winning ways with a merciless assault on Palace, who have not yet kept a clean sheet all season. This game is guaranteed to be entertaining, Norwich Style, I personally can’t wait.
We Love You Arsenal
