Your support makes all the difference.The final match of the weekend in the Premier League takes place on Monday night with Crystal Palace hosting Arsenal at Selhurst Park. Roy Hodgson is back once more for another campaign with the Eagles and they made a good start to 2023/24 with a 1-0 win at Sheffield United on the opening weekend.
Arsenal, meanwhile, battled to a 2-1 home victory over Nottingham Forest, with Mikel Arteta’s side hoping to go one better this term after finishing runners-up to Man City in May.
The Gunners have added the likes of Declan Rice and Kai Havertz to their squad over the summer, while Palace lost key winger Wilf Zaha - but have brought in Matheus Franca from Flamengo in their big-money addition so far. Follow all the live action below as Crystal Palace host Arsenal and see the latest odds for the game here.
HT - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
One last attack in the half for Palace but Eze is crowded out and then Ayew can’t deliver a cross from a decent area.
There’s the half-time whistle and it’s all square at the break, with Nketiah hitting the post in Arsenal’s best chance.
44’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
A quick free-kick opens space down the right but Partey’s cross is overhit. It reaches Martinelli who opts to smash it full on the volley....high, wide and not very handsome.
We’ll have two minutes added on at the end of this first half.
42’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Referee David Coote is being booed by both sets of fans now and little wonder, after his latest questionable decision. This time he gives a free-kick to Arsenal for...nothing, as far as we can see.
Saka cuts in and tries to shoot but he’s never set and fires miles off-target. Palace doing well to frustrate the Gunners for long stretches. Odegaard fires in a shot which is tipped over by Johnstone - a first shot on target.
38’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Quick huddle for the players to get a word from the coaches after a clash of heads.
The ref has to call both sets of players back to get on with the game.
A little over five minutes to go until the break...plus injury time, of course, which could be anything these days.
34’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Terrible error from Saliba - and then a brilliant recovery challenge! The French defender loses possession to Ayew who streaks away into the box, but the centre-back just about makes it back in time to get a toe to the ball and win the tackle with Palace fans baying for a penalty.
Just a moment before, Declan Rice had a problem with his contact lens - but there’s nothing wrong with his vision as he plays in Nketiah for another chance...only for the striker to send his shot well over the bar.
30’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Odegaard delivers a free-kick from the left channel and Partey attempts a long-range header, but he’s off-balance and stooping, with the header bouncing harmlessly away and wide.
From the restart though Palace give away the ball trying to play out and Nketiah makes a brilliant turn past Andersen - and though his left-footed shot beats Johnstone, it just won’t curl back inside the post and clips the woodwork, bouncing away to safety from a Palace perspective.
26’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Ayew is Palace’s biggest outlet in this opening quarter but his latest cross is easily claimed.
At the other end, Nketiah winds past two players, gets into the box and goes down - no penalty says the ref! Havertz then gets chopped down mid-stride by Ayew and he’s quickly shown a yellow card.
22’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Palace pushing forward a little more now. Eze dribbles past a tackle and hammers in a shot - it’s blocked, falls to Doucoure and he lashes in another effort, but this one is well off-target.
Arsenal a little more patient and probing with their approach, working spaces and trying to find an opening, waiting for Palace’s defence to mis-step and leave a gap.
18’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Tomiyasu embarks on a run down the left wing and takes on two - but a crunching tackle from Ward ends the burst and gives Arsenal a corner. Positive run from the Japanese full-back, who is in on the left today.
14’ - Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Johnstone with a bit of catching practice early on from some wayward crosses.
At the other end of the pitch, Ramsdale comes flying out to get fingertips on a much better delivery from Ayew - and the goalkeeper is lucky the ball just evades two Palace players in the middle of the box.
Now Edouard is next to try his luck with a shot from closer range - and he asks for handball against White, who waves the claim away. Eze fizzes a strike from range, which Ramsdale saves with comfort.
