The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Crystal Palace lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important clash at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Preview
Crystal Palace are currently in 14th place in the Premier League standings and have been plagued by inconsistency this season. The away side played out a 0-0 stalemate against Everton in the FA Cup this week and will need to take it up a notch in this game.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Gunners slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
