Arsenal started this season with a win against Nottingham Forest and would be eager to continue with yet another victory when they face Crystal Palace in their next league game.
Palace poses a significant challenge in the Premier League and could perceive a good chance to secure at least a draw against Arsenal.
Last season, Arsenal kicked off their campaign impressively, allowing them to maintain a presence within the top two until the season’s conclusion.
If they manage to replicate this performance in the current season, it would exemplify their remarkable progress, solidifying their status as a formidable force in the Premier League.
Regrettably, injuries are becoming a concerning factor for Arsenal, with Jurrien Timber suffering an injury during their match against Forest.
Timber’s injury has left Arsenal with defensive vulnerabilities, and it appears unlikely that they will bring in a new player to fill the void.
However, Timber is not the sole absentee for their upcoming fixture against Palace. According to a report by Football London, Arsenal will also be without key players such as Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Mohamed Elneny, and Reiss Nelson.
Just Arsenal Opinion
These injuries are beginning to pile up, but they are a part of the game and we just need to ensure we have players who can replace others in the group.
We beat Palace away last season, so if we beat them again, how would it “exemplify their remarkable progress? ”
Last season we beat Forest 5-0 at the Emirates, so does Saturday’s result sgiw well have gone backwards then?
So have we gone backwards then?
Nelson was on the bench on Saturday . Zinchenko is likely to be fit. The real misses are Jesus and Timber. I’m particularly gutted about Timber. We just must keep Tierney, maybe even Cedric, now.
Real hard luck
Dont understand your thinking Ken. IF we beat PALACE,we will have the same points, six, as at that stage last season. Impossible to get more.
So we will have done the best ANY team can possibly do. Two wins from two games.
Martin saying it would”exemplify our remarkable progress” is being far too premature A mere two games proves nothing either way .
You and I both know that Ken , so why not simply tell MARTIN HE IS FAR TOO PREMATURE, as I now say to him?
You know how he uses hype so often, as also do so many others on here, sadly.
Hype attracts comments, while true context and balance bores so many. SAD BUT TRUE
Palace A Good well organised side NOW, forget the past, Yes you have got the better of us on many occasion, and Yes I am a Palace Fan but Monday Week I can Guarantee you Arsenal Lads and Lasses you’ll know you’ve been in a game, it wouldn’t even suprise me if Palace Sneaked A Win OR even a Draw. That’s how confident I am with this Palace Side,…….!
@ Simon
Agree with you that Palace are a very good side under RH. I expect a very difficult game.
I want Palace to do well but just not when we play you as a gunner. Hope you have an off day.
And i can assure you palace lads and lasses that you lot are in for some serious head.
Only 3 points matters, progress is for pundit
