Crystal Palace's first match after Wilfried Zaha's departure went according to plan as they secured a victory against Sheffield United in the Premier League season opener. Manager Roy Hodgson expressed his satisfaction with the performance and will hope his team can build on this by achieving back-to-back wins for only the second time since 2006/07.

Since Hodgson's return to the club, Crystal Palace's form has been impressive, with just two losses in the matches he's been in charge (6 wins, 3 draws). Their home record at Selhurst Park is particularly strong, with only one loss in their last ten Premier League matches (3 wins, 6 draws). The addition of winger Michael Olise, who rejected a move to Chelsea to sign a new contract, will be a boost for the home crowd.

However, Arsenal, their opponents, have already beaten Manchester City this season on their way to winning a trophy. Despite a 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest in their opening Premier League game, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believed his team should have secured the win more convincingly. Injuries remain a concern for Arsenal, with Jurrien Timber joining Gabriel Jesus on the injury list.

Arsenal's recent record against Crystal Palace has been strong, with 16 wins, 8 draws, and 4 losses in the Premier League era. Arsenal also began the previous season with a victory at Selhurst Park (2-0) and will aim to repeat that success. They performed well in away London derbies last season, winning 5 and drawing 1, while also earning the most away points in the league (37).

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, who found the net in their opening game and has a positive history against Crystal Palace, will be the man to watch in this clash and I firmly believe he can be the one to orchestrate the victory of Arsenal.

水晶宫在扎哈离开后的第一场比赛按计划进行，他们在英超揭幕战中战胜了谢菲尔德联队。主教练罗伊·霍奇森对球队的表现表示满意，并希望他的球队能在此基础上取得自2006/07赛季以来的第二次背对背胜利。

自从霍奇森回归球队以来，水晶宫的状态令人印象深刻，在他执教的比赛中只有两场失利(6胜3平)。他们在塞尔赫斯特公园球场的主场战绩特别好，在最近的10场英超比赛中只有1场失利(3胜6平)。拒绝转会切尔西的边锋迈克尔·奥利斯的加盟将会给主场球迷带来鼓舞。

然而，他们的对手阿森纳本赛季已经在赢得奖杯的路上击败了曼城。尽管阿森纳在英超首场比赛中以2-1战胜诺丁汉森林，但阿森纳主帅阿尔特塔认为他的球队应该更有说服力地取得胜利。伤病仍然是阿森纳关注的焦点，尤尔里安·图尔加入了热苏斯的伤病名单。

阿森纳最近在对阵水晶宫的比赛中取得了16胜8平4负的优异战绩。上个赛季，阿森纳也在塞尔赫斯特公园球场以2-0的比分取得了胜利，他们的目标是复制这一成功。他们上赛季在客场伦敦德比中表现出色，5胜1平，同时也是联赛中客场积分最多的球队(37分)。

阿森纳的萨卡在首场比赛中破门，在对阵水晶宫的比赛中有着积极的表现，他将是这场比赛中值得关注的人，我坚信他可以成为阿森纳胜利的指挥。
