Arsenal preview: Firing on all fronts
Table-toppers Arsenal are continuing to grind out the wins in the Premier League with Leandro Trossard scoring the only goal of the game in last weekend's victory against Fulham. The winner came from yet another set-piece as the Gunners continue to cause opponents plenty of problems from dead-ball deliveries.
Also flying high in the UEFA Champions League, Mikel Arteta's men made it three wins from three in the league phase with a resounding 4-0 triumph over Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, Viktor Gyokeres helping himself to two goals.
Crystal Palace preview: Juggling act
Crystal Palace were involved in one of the games of the season last weekend with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring a hat-trick in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth. Indeed, the Eagles could have snatched victory at the end had Mateta not missed a clear-cut chance for his fourth goal of the afternoon.
That high-octane fixture appeared to take its toll though, as Oliver Glasner's side surprisingly lost 0-1 at home to AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.

Arsenal are showing no signs of letting up right now and are playing with incredible defensive resolve combined with ruthless efficiency from dead-ball situations.
Although Crystal Palace have been one of the most impressive sides in the Premier League this season, they may be starting to feel the effects of juggling domestic football with their European endeavours. Indeed, they looked sluggish on Thursday in their home defeat to Cypriot opposition.
With a squad depth better equipped deal with such a schedule, Arsenal will fancy themselves here, and after boosting his confidence with a double against Atletico Madrid midweek, Gyokeres could be to one to look at in the goalscorer markets.
