Arsenal are top of the table as the next round of Premier League action begins, in about….oh a few minutes, as we have a Friday night game this week (West Ham at Leeds United).
With Liverpool on a skid, recently, Arsenal took control of the league’s penthouse position. Up next is a London derby against mid-table Crystal Palace.

Perhaps we will see changes here, from the side that thrashed Madrid’s second biggest club. Palace are too strong a side to really do any “squad rotation” against, but you got to keep legs fresh here.
Anyway, most of the lineup will remain the same from the midweek continental win.
