ABOUT THE MATCH

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Crystal Palace have lost one of their past eight Premier League meetings with Arsenal (W2, D5).
• The Eagles are aiming to win consecutive league games against the Gunners for the first time after a 3-0 home victory in April.
• That victory over Arsenal last season was their joint-biggest home win of the campaign, having also beaten Tottenham and Norwich by the same scoreline.

Crystal Palace

• Crystal Palace have won their opening league match in five of their previous 22 top-flight campaigns (D7, L10), although they’ve been victorious in two of their last four season curtain-raisers (D1, L1).
• The Eagles lost only four of their 19 Premier League home fixtures last season (W7, D8).
• They ended last season unbeaten in six games at Selhurst Park, winning three of those matches.
• Patrick Vieira’s side have kept a clean sheet in their last five home games, equalling a club record set between March and April 1992.

Arsenal

• This is the third successive season that the Gunners have started their top-flight campaign with a London derby.
• Mikel Arteta’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 10 league fixtures.
• Bukayo Saka was the top league scorer last season with 11 goals – it’s the joint-lowest total by an Arsenal player in the Premier League since Robin van Persie also scored 11 in 2006-07 and 2008-09.
• Gabriel Jesus scored six goals and recorded one assist in his final seven league games for Manchester City.
