- Venue: Emirates Stadium
An intriguing Premier League contest takes place at Emirates Stadium this weekend as league leaders Arsenal take on Crystal Palace.
While Arsenal enjoyed midweek success in the Champions League, Palace makes the short trip to North London after a disappointing Conference League defeat on Thursday.
Palace picked up a point on their last visit to this venue, and another competitive contest can be expected with both teams performing well in the first weeks of the season.

Arsenal team overview
Arsenal return to Premier League action after a sensational 4:0 midweek win against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Viktor Gyökeres helped himself to a brace as the Gunners scored four second-half goals to secure a hugely impressive victory.
Mikel Arteta's in-form side have now won each of their last six games, including a 1:0 win at Fulham in their most recent Premier League contest.
A strong start to the domestic campaign has seen Arsenal win six and lose just one of eight Premier League matches. They also claimed victories in four of their last five home PL matches.
Head coach Arteta has no fresh injury issues this weekend. Piero Hincapié is fit again after a groin issue, leaving only four long-term knee absentees. Kai Havertz, Martin Ødegaard and Noni Madueke remain sidelined until after the international break, while Gabriel Jesus continues his recovery from an ACL injury.

Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace make the short trip to the Emirates Stadium after a shock 1:0 home defeat against AEK Larnaca in the Conference League on Thursday.
Oliver Glasner's men have now failed to win their last three games after enjoying a three-game winning run prior to their recent dip in form.
An outstanding year has seen Palace lose just one of 21 competitive fixtures before Thursday's surprise reversal at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles have shown plenty of quality in the forward positions in the past month, with a minimum of two goals scored in four of their last six games, including a thrilling 3:3 draw with Bournemouth last weekend.
Palace remain unable to call on Caleb Kporha (back), Cheick Doucouré (knee) and Chadi Riad (knee). The visitors have no new injury issues after Thursday's defeat at Selhurst Park.
