Crystal Palace will travel to the Emirates Stadium on Monday night to face hosts Arsenal in matchday eight of the Premier League.

On the other hand, Arsenal’s fine run was slowed down by Brighton following a barren draw just before the international break.
It will be Arteta vs Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira, who will come on top?
