Arsenal have a european game mid-week. Doesn't that often lead to poor results at the weekend? Perhaps a weaker team, giving their big guns a rest as it's only palace. Palace will step it up both beause it's a big team, and because they'll be convinced they owe their fans after the midweek capitulation. Is chamakh available or is he on loan and so unable to play? If he is available, I could see him wanting to prove a point.
With us on TV (which doesn't bode well for league games) in october (when we don't win since moving to the amex), in a season in which we haven't really got going, thus giving palace fans a little extra to gloat over.
It certainly looks like one of those 'football is a funny ol' game' fixtures for palace.
Thats exactly how I feel, I can see a few names rested for the Gunners. However, I'm sure that they will still have enough on the pitch to beat Palace 2-1 or 3-1. This is the best start Arsenal have had for years, they won't want to let it slip.
