Crystal Palace vs Arsenal - 5 Things Palace Fans Can Look Forward To

4. Arsenal Refocussed

Can Arsenal afford to be anything other than much better than they were against West Ham? Crystal Palace will surely not be pushovers and will have seen how West Ham nullified Ozil with the inexperienced Reece Oxford and will no doubt look to do the same, perhaps with Mile Jedinak doing playing the 'Oxford role' as it should surely be called now. If fit, Alexis Sanchez will almost certainly start and, after a disappointing game, Olivier Giroud may make way for Theo Walcott to try and freshen up an attack that was conspicuous in its bluntness. It's in defence that Arsenal will really have to improve most and it is unthinkable that they will be quite as welcoming against Palace as they were against West Ham.
