A popular choice I believe, Arsenal were excellent last season for most of it, very good for some time in their season opener v Forest, and their potential is huge.

Key points:

Both won their opening round matches vs expectedly weaker opponents. Palace winning margin was smaller than the xG suggests, and I am not sure of their goal-scoring abilities, and after all, it is a Roy Hodgson squad!

Back to coach; it looked like that Hodgson saved Palace from relegation last season, but if we take a look at their schedule it has to be noted that they only met 1 top-10 side during his spell from April. That was a loss vs Tottenham.

Both have a long resting behind them and Arsenal actually played a friendly v Luton behind closed doors, and won by 3-0, two goals by Trussard whom I praised already in my last Arsenal preview. The good news is that Zinchenko returned, and is available to start today although it probably will be Tierney. Star signing Jurrien Timber unfortunately is probably out for all season due injury and Tomiyasu will take over as the left full-back. The other important absentee is Gabriel Jesus who will return probably in September or October.

Arsenal were superb at times v Forest and especially Martinelli did whatever he wanted in the attacking third.

I believe Arsenal will improve strongly during the early season, and as I am not all afraid of Palace who will miss their top striker Olise still for some time this should be a rather easy away win.

我相信这是一个很受欢迎的选择，阿森纳上赛季的大部分时间都很出色，在赛季揭幕战对森林的比赛中表现得很好，他们的潜力是巨大的。

重点:

两队都在首轮比赛中战胜了预期较弱的对手。宫殿队的胜率比xG的建议要小，我不确定他们的进球能力，毕竟，这是一支罗伊·霍奇森的球队!

回到教练身边;看起来上赛季霍奇森拯救了水晶宫，但是如果我们看看他们的赛程，就会发现他们在他4月份的任期内只遇到了一支前10强球队。那是对热刺的一场失利。

他们都有很长一段时间的休息，阿森纳实际上和卢顿进行了一场闭门友谊赛，并以3-0获胜，其中两个进球是我在上一篇阿森纳预览中赞扬过的鲁萨德。好消息是津琴科回来了，今天他可以首发，虽然很可能是蒂尔尼。不幸的是，签约的明星球员尤里恩·图尔很可能因为伤病缺席整个赛季，富康将接替左后卫的位置。另一个重要的缺席者是加布里埃尔·耶稣，他可能会在九月或十月回归。

阿森纳在对阵森林的比赛中表现得非常出色，尤其是马蒂内利在进攻三线随心所欲。

我相信阿森纳在赛季初会有很大的进步，而且我也不担心水晶宫会在一段时间内失去他们的顶级前锋奥利斯，这应该是一场相当轻松的客场胜利。
