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

2. All Out Counter Attack

This will almost certainly be one of those games where Palace concede possession to their opponents. Arsenal are exceptionally good at controlling games but have a tendency to over commit when chasing a goal. The longer Palace keep a clean sheet, the more frustrated Arsenal will get and the more men they will push forward. It is when this happens that Palace will need to be at their counter attacking best. There are few forwards in the Premier League better at holding the ball up than Glenn Murray and few wingers quicker than Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie, so Palace will have to make the most of this. We will probably see either Zaha or Bolasie start so, with 30 minutes remaining, expect the other to be brought on to try and cause havoc with the Arsenal back four.
