Preview followed by live coverage of Sunday's Premier League game between Arsenal and Crystal Palace.

- Arsenal are vying to become the first team to win more than eight top-flight London derbies in a season. - Crystal Palace are winless in all 17 league games this season against the teams in the top half of the table heading into this weekend (D8, L9). - It's four league matches without a goal for Palace, who haven't scored in the first half in any of their 11 top-flight fixtures in 2023. Palace are on a long winless run but I am not so worried about them going down. - Their tallies of five points, four goals and 26 shots on target during that period are all the lowest in the division in 2023. They still have to play all eight of the teams below them in the table and they picked up 16 points out of a possible 24 against them earlier in the season.

What Palace are used to under Patrick Vieira might be different to what a new manager comes in and implements. Other players need to step up, there are two players in Ebere Eze and Michael Olise who I think will go to the very top. "For me, it's not the right call - I don't think he should have been sacked. "We want to give Paddy and Darren a clear run at it on Sunday. "Maybe we can surprise the opposition by doing something different as we've got good players and have got a good squad.
