This match is certainly going to be a tough match because Patrick Viera is aware of the fact that Arsenal are very good upfront now,and can as well be a strong side defensively.They conceded few goals last season and were strong till the end if the season.Palace will try as much as they could,but they won't be able to defeat Arsenal because the Arsenal team is so strong now and they are not ready to accept defeat.
The first fixture of the premier league opening will be hosted between Arsenal and Crystal Palace. The gunners fans don't see Crystal palace as threat, morever it's the first game of the season and both sides need to be extremely careful not to lose a point. Arsenal winning the game is probably under big chances of winning the match while the lesser side, Patrick Vieira's eagles will try their possible best to defend and might end the game in draw.
