Crystal Palace Preview – Can Eagles strike again?
Crystal Palace finished last Premier League season in a creditable 12th place in the table after enjoying greater security under new manager, Patrick Vieira, which culminated in just one loss in their final six games of last term.
Victories over Southampton, Watford and Manchester United in the final weeks of last term should give Crystal Palace plenty of encouragement for this upcoming clash against London rivals, Arsenal, in addition to Palace’s 3-0 home win over Vieira’s former club, Arsenal, in their last meeting.
Arsenal Preview – Can Gunners avenge previous loss?
Arsenal will be looking to go one step better this season in the Premier League after narrowly missing out on a top four finish and the accompanying Champions League spot to north London rivals, Tottenham, by a mere two-point margin.
Progress has been made under manager, Mikel Arteta, along with some interesting summer signings such as former Manchester City striker, Jesus, but the pressure is now on The Gunners to claim a top four finish this term and the jury remains out as to whether they can achieve this, especially after losing two of their final three games of last season which included losses against Tottenham and Newcastle United, both of which were away from home.
