The coincidence of the calendar does things well, since Arsenal and Crystal Palace, who find themselves in League Cup this Wednesday, will have a remake to play in the championship next Saturday. It’s an interesting poster between two London clubs that the Gunners obviously approach with the status of big favorite.
Less dashing in the game, quite cold and realistic, formidable on set pieces and capable of sucking in his opponent to counter him in a cynical way, Mikel Arteta’s team has grown a lot this season. But she will have to be wary of this Palace team led by a certain Jean-Philippe Mateta, hero of the Olympic Games with the France team last summer. Thierry Henry will surely have a keen eye on this match.
The expected compositions
Arsenal :Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Jorginho, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Sterling.
Crystal Palace : Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Doucoure, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.
