It might seem obvious how Arsenal will approach the match against Crystal Palace. All the signs have pointed towards a repeat of the last two matches against Chelsea and Sevilla.
Arsenal had a very successful preseason where they won six matches and scored 25 goals. New boy Gabriel Jesus became a superstar over a summer and has given a massive level of optimism to the fan base.
The aforementioned final two matches of the summer preparations though gave the clearest insight into what Mikel Arteta will choose. It made sense that he gave so many minutes in a game that felt everything like a competitive fixture for the Gunners despite the obvious absences.
