Arsenal have begun winning games again and will hope to continue that trend against a Crystal Palace side hampered by significant injury problems and Luka Milivojevic missing out through suspension. Roy Hodgson is unlikely to be afraid considering the fragility of Arsenal’s confidence and, more pertinently, their defence. Palace are a point ahead of Mikel Arteta’s side and will want to remain that way. Wilfried Zaha being linked to a move away could upset the applecart and provide an opportunity for Arsenal to sneak another scratchy win. Graham Searles
