The title race is already taking shape in the Premier League. Arsenal have been uncompromising for several weeks and Mikel Arteta's team finds themselves three points ahead of Manchester City before playing their match on day 9 of the championship against Crystal Palace this afternoon (kick-off 3 p.m.). The Gunners continue a third London derby after the successes against West Ham (2-0) and Fulham (0-1) but the Eagles led by Jean-Philippe Mateta appear more solid and more dangerous. The new French international remains on a hat-trick against Bournemouth a week ago. Gabriel Magalhaes is uncertain to accompany William Saliba in the central hinge.
Pep Guardiola's Cityzens face Aston Villa at the same time in Birmingham and Erling Haaland, already 11 goals on the clock in the PL, can shake the net in a 13th meeting in a row in all competitions (with his club and his selection). Jérémy Doku, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva should accompany the Norwegian cyborg.
Arsenal-Crystal Palace, the probable lineups
Arsenal's probable line-up: Raya – Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Calafiori – Eze, Zubimendi, Rice – Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard.
The probable composition of Crystal Palace: Henderson – Richards, Lacroix, Guehi – Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell – Sarr, Pino – Mateta.
