Crystal Palace started their post-Wilfried Zaha era on a positive note, securing a victory against newly-promoted Sheffield United in the Premier League opener. Manager Roy Hodgson was pleased with the team's performance, and the Eagles are aiming to win consecutive games at the start of the season, a feat they've achieved only once since 2006/07.Under Hodgson's leadership, Palace's form has been impressive, with just two losses in their last nine matches. Their home form at Selhurst Park is even stronger, with just one defeat in their last ten Premier League matches. The fans' morale is boosted by winger Michael Olise's decision to reject Chelsea and extend his contract with the club.The only setback at home recently was against Manchester City, a team that Arsenal has already defeated en route to winning a trophy this season. Arsenal's campaign began with a victory against Nottingham Forest (2-1), but manager Mikel Arteta highlighted the need to close out games more efficiently. Injuries remain a concern for Arsenal, with new signing Jurrien Timber joining Gabriel Jesus on the injured list.Arsenal has a history of dominance in Premier League encounters against Palace, winning 16, drawing 8, and losing 4. The Gunners also performed well in away London derbies last season, and they were the best-performing team on the road in the league, earning 37 points away from home.Key players to watch include Crystal Palace's Odsonne Édouard, who has a knack for opening the scoring (six out of eight goals since the beginning of the 2022/23 season were match openers). Arsenal's winger Bukayo Saka, who scored in the opening match, has positive memories of this fixture, having contributed with two goals and an assist in a 4-1 victory against Palace in March. Since March some things changed - it remains Arsenal is better team but Palace is in a good moment too so won't be surprised if they make a draw tonight. This handicap also covers one goal loss so we have a something good to hope for tonight. 1-1 or 2-1 may happen if Arsenal don't have an amazing day.
