Arsenal are all set to kick off the new Premier League campaign as final preparations for the clash against Crystal Palace are now complete.
The Gunners should be riding a wave of momentum heading into the London derby after recording some impressive results during pre-season as they were victorious against the likes of Nurnberg, Everton and Orlando City whilst beating both Chelsea and Sevilla by a big margin.
But those were friendlies. Many supporters and Mikel Arteta will likely argue that as good as Arsenal looked in those games, it will count for very little if they fail to get off to a good start against a Palace side who won this corresponding fixture last season by three goals to nil.
