CRYSTAL PALACE 1-2 ARSENAL

73: The goal of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was apparently 9mm above the line … Unai Emery will be grateful for the goal line technology as it would NOT have been given a few years ago.

70: Alignments were announced for Everton's trip to Manchester United. You can see them and follow the updates by clicking here!

69: The hosts are everywhere in Arsenal as we enter the last 20 minutes. Milivojevic finds a space to shoot one at 25 meters but he flies over the crossbar.

66: Ooooh, Mesut Ozil did not like that. The German, who is captain today, throws his gloves off the bench after being kidnapped. Does not seem happy to be replaced at all. Danny Welbeck on.

63: Close! Crystal Palace has responded well since being late in controversial circumstances. They seemed stoked by the handball of Alexandre Lacazette. Zaha finds Mayer and his hard-hitting cannons outside the pole and at the shelter.

60: Roy Hodgson makes an immediate change with Max Meyer replacing James McArthur.

57: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) was directly involved in 22 goals in 23 Premier League games (17 goals, 5 assists).

CRISTAL PALACE 1-2 ARSENAL | AUBAMEYANG

55: Everything changes, everything changes! Arsenal has completely returned the game within ten minutes of the second half – but it's controversial!

Alexandre Lacazette seems to have raised his arm inside the penalty area and pierced a corner in the trajectory of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who points home at the last post.

The referee checks his watch … the goal is maintained. The Eagles protest, but without VAR, the goal is maintained.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-1 ARSENAL | Xhaka

51: It's absolute love at Granit Xhaka! God, I did not expect that from the Swiss international.

Everyone expects a free-kick center but Xhaka decides to score the goal with a striking shot and curling that moves the post and leaves Wayne Hennessey motionless.

50: Matteo Guendouzi does a remarkable job in midfield when pinching the ball away from Cheikhou Kouyate. He goes to Lucas Torreira and Luka Milivojevic brings him together.

Dangerous free kick for Arsenal just outside the penalty area on the right …

47: Ah, apparently, Bectorin is hurt and that's why he was kidnapped.

46: Arsenal dominate the ball, but Roy Hodgson has a nice and compact side. There is not much work space for gunners – and they have not been fast enough to create one.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0 ARSENAL

45: And we are back! Arsenal are a team in the second half, huh? We are about to know what they really are made of!

Arsenal makes a difference with Stephan Lichtsteiner in place of Hector Bellerin. I do not know why. The Spaniard did not look hurt …

JJ: We need to quickly fix this situation from the left back … all our attacks originate on the right … the left side is simply dead with Granit Xhaka there.

Guy: nice game at Crystal Palace; they were animated and Mustafi left and Mustafi-ed just before the break (twice, actually).

Nick: Arsenal without energy this half. Lack of movement and sharpness. Another goal offered to the opposition because of a defensive mistake.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0 ARSENAL

HT: Crystal Palace leads to Selhurst Park after a penalty kick from Luka Milivojevic. You can not really say that they do not deserve to have applied most of the pressure. Arsenal started another game slowly – and they were punished for it. Big second half required to save their winning streak!

Luka Milivojevic's penalty put an end to a 417-minute run (six hours and 57 minutes) without a goal at Crystal Palace's Premier League win at Selhurst Park.

CRYSTAL PALACE 1-0 ARSENAL | MILIVOJEVIC

45: punished! Crystal Palace scores his first goal of the season at Selhurst Park from the penalty spot. Luka Milivojevic corrects his mistake against Everton by sending Bernd Leno the wrong way.

PENALTY IN THE PALACE OF CRYSTAL

44: What does Shkodran Mustafi do ?! Arsenal fails to clear a turn of the Crystal Palace and Mustafi crosses Cheikhou Kouyate. Stone wall.

43: Roy Hodgson shakes his arms furiously to try to galvanize his players as the break approaches.

41: Penalty call! Wilfried Zaha and Shkodran Mustafi meet in the penalty area, but Martin Atkinson refuses. I'm just watching the replay now … yes, it was a mistake, but I was out of the box.

38: It seems that Arsenal is only waiting for the energy level of Crystal Palace. They have not really found a way to disturb the Eagles since Hector Bellerin's shot.

Oh, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, 20, is doing a hellish job on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

35: Still to shoot at Selhurst Park. I guess there's a reason Arsenal scored 70% of his goals in the second half …

33: Arsenal made a free kick about 35 yards from the goal, but they lost it by attacking Wayne Hennessey. I'm not sure that the airway is the best idea for Unai Emery's side today.

30: Crystal Palace enjoys a decent stay in the Arsenal area. Zaha and Ayew are getting married. The gunners had several opportunities to counter, but did not pass their decisive pass.

27: Round 2 Ding Ding! Cheikhou Kouyate and Granit Xhaka themselves have a good old fight between chest and chest after a 50/50 houseboat. Storm in a cup of tea.

24: Gourmand, Hector Bellerin receives the ball of Mesut Ozil to ten meters of the goal. He has unidentified Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on his left, but crosses a crowd of bodies and wins the easily cleared corner.

21: Chelsea took the lead against Burnley, guys. Alvaro Morata opened the scoring after 22 minutes.

Back at Selhurst Park, Alexandre Lacazette just spoiled an excellent opportunity after the ball book, but he exchanged it horribly.

18: Jordan Ayew could easily have been deported. He is already on a reservation but decides to tackle Lucas Torreira. Bad, late but not cynical. The referee Martin Atkinson made the right choice.

15: Arsenal hangs through the nails! Wilfried Zaha cuts the ball from the left and makes a small effort against the outside of the post.

Seconds later, Zaha finds Townsend waiting inside the penalty area, but he inexplicably pulls the ball off.

12: Neither of the two parts are properly installed in this one. Crystal Palace makes it difficult for visitors to find the pace with submerged Lacazette and Aubameyang.

9: Zaha decides to try her luck on the left against Bellerin. He leaps beyond the Spanish international before Shkodran Mustafi sets a corner for a wide corner.

Reserve! Jordan Ayew begins early in the book by cynically defeating Lacazette's breakup. Idiot.

7: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could find the difficult pass on the left flank with Granit Xhaka for support. He is scored by Wan-Bissaka and McArthur each time he touches the ball.

4: Luka Milivojevic, who clearly wants to make amends for his penalty missed last weekend, recovers the ball in midfield and seeks to play against Wilfried Zaha. The offside flag remained in place, but Bernd Leno anticipated it and rallied.

2: There was a salvo of applause for all those related to Leicester after the events of last night. The Premier League was in discussion with both clubs about a minute of silence or something more formal, but all parties decided not to do so and investigations were ongoing at King Power.

CRYSTAL PALACE 0-0 ARSENAL

1: And we are on the way! I know that Crystal Palace has not scored at Selhurst Park this season, but I can not ignore Zaha against Xhaka. My prediction is that both teams score and Arsenal wins.

Oh, I also have Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on my fantastic football team. So…

The respect

1:28 p.m.: The players have just exited the tunnel in an exuberant atmosphere (calendar of the day) in Selhurst Park. What would you expect from these other Eagles fans?

Cryroi: Max Meyer must be in the starting lineup to inject more creativity into the last third. Obviously, Roy will bring him when we are 2-0 down!

Bronco: Arsenal must start the game faster than you like. I do not like the usual story of the first half, which consists of not showing enough.

John: I can not wait to see this team from Arsenal a little closer. Up to now, they have slightly escaped under the radar, getting results.

Juan Mata ?!

1:20 p.m.: Oh, I have news of transfer for you all …

Take it with a pinch of salt, but apparently Arsenal could hold a shock transfer for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata.

Mata, 30, played for Valencia under the current boss of Arsenal, Unai Emery, in 2008 and 2011.

Emery remains a big fan and he's keen to reconnect with Mata though he's becoming available for free transfer, according to Sunday's Star magazine.

Thoughts Arsenal fans, would you like him?

"For us today, it is very important to continue to improve. We're fine, but we have to improve every game, " Said Emery. "For each team, it's difficult to come here, but we can be competitive for 90 minutes and our quality will show. We want to be intense for 90 minutes.

On Bernd Leno: "I am very happy with the two goalies, it is a very high level of performance, it is good to continue with Leno because he works well and plays very well." Cech has the opportunity to play but he is on the bench. today. "

On Granite Xhaka at LB: "For the moment, it's only because of the injuries inflicted on Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac, and I think he's played the last few games in that position, and his commitment is very, very big." subsequently is in the middle of the field. "

On Mesut Ozil as captain: "The captain's role is very clear to us, we want his commitment and his example in the middle of the field, every day and every 90 minutes we want him to be a leader."

Zaha vs Xhaka …

1:10 p.m.: Many Arsenal fans worry about this game. The natural flair, the rhythm and the trickery of Wilfried Zaha against … Granite Xhaka.

The Swiss international played against Sporting Lisbon on Thursday. It was a difficult task, but it did not do too badly.

Twitter Tour

Josh: Wilfried Zaha will lick his lips after seeing Arsenal's defense. He's going to make fun of Granit Xhaka on the left-back.

George: It's hard for Sokratis to lose to Mustafi today. Also very worried about Xhaka at LB again. A player under 21 years whose preferred position is LB would it be a preferable solution in the short term?

Ed: Looking for another beast of the performance of Auba and Laca … Mesut will chain beautiful passes … And Torreira martial the midfielder. We just have to make sure Leno keeps another blank sheet.

High praise indeed

13h00: Roy Hodgson thinks that Unai Emery is a successor of choice for Arsene Wenger as manager of Arsenal, as he has revived many qualities that have made the great team of the French.

"Emery brought back the energy and quality of the game that Arsene also had for many years. Certainly when he took the league by storm playing this type of football, " Hodgson said.

"People used to talk about Arsenal throwing the ball into the goals, because they were so good around the field. They were not shooting at sight, they played around of you two more times before putting someone in touch with the goal.

"To do this, you need the quality of players accumulated over the years.A lot of high performing players are the ones that Arsene has actually recruited, and Emery has inherited and makes the most of them.

"Eleven consecutive wins is an incredible record, we have to try to do our best not to reach 12 because we need points, he has started very well, I know a lot about him and his career. I followed his work, especially in Seville and Paris St Germain, and I know he is a good coach, and he proves it. "

Drought…

12:55: Dry like the Sahara at Selhurst Park this season. No, I'm not talking about the weather, I'm talking about their drought goal.

Crystal Palace could become the seventh team in league history not to win or score in its first five home games against one season after Huddersfield (2018-19), Everton (1998-99), Halifax Town (1990-91), Mansfield Town (1971-1972), West Brom (1921-1922) and Norwich City (1920-1921).

Gunning for another victory

12:50: Unusual title, but it's Sunday and an hour more in bed was not enough …

After the start of Unai Emery's tenure with consecutive defeats, Arsenal has embarked on a remarkable run of 11 consecutive wins in all competitions.

They should be confident in the continuation of their impressive form when they head to Selhurst Park this afternoon to face the Crystal Palace. The out-of-form Eagles are the second-lowest scorers in the division with just five goals and a lone point after their last four games.

Afternoon

12:20: Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our live coverage of Selhurst Park.

It's wrong to focus on football after the tragic events of yesterday.

First, the former England director, Glenn Hoddle, was taken to the hospital after falling seriously ill. Then, an elderly Brighton supporter died after being ill before the game against the Wolves.

Then the helicopter from Leicester's owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, crashed in front of King Power Stadium after Saturday's Premier League match against West Ham.

But we have three Premier League matches coming this afternoon, so let's get the news from the team and the formations.

CRYSTAL PALACE vs ARSENAL

At Crystal Palace, Max Meyer and Alexander Sorloth are available after missing last week's 2-0 defeat at Everton with viral infections. Christian Benteke remains the only major absentee of the palace, while he continues to recover from a knee operation.

Arsenal hopes to have either Nacho Monreal or Sead Kolasinac on the team. The two left-backs missed the Europa League victory at Sporting Lisbon due to hamstring problems. Petr Cech will press for a reminder to the goal after overcoming his own complaint to the hamstring. Ainsley Maitland-Niles (leg) and Laurent Koscielny (Achilles) are also back to training, but are unlikely to be up to it.

Last season: Arsenal 4 Crystal Palace 1 Crystal Palace 2 Arsenal 3

Last five league games: Crystal Palace F D F F F F; Arsenal W W W W W

Top scorers: Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) 3; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) 8

Referee: Martin Atkinson
