In their manager's words...
Mikel Arteta is anticipating a tough test for Arsenal against Palace on Sunday afternoon, after being questioned on Eze's anticipated first game agianst the Eagles on Sunday.
The Spaniard told his pre-match perss conference: "It's a big game for us, because last season we dropped some points [against Palace, after a 2-2 draw back in April].
"It's the fourth game in a row that we're going to play against opponents that we dropped points against [last season], and this season we've been able to beat them, so our focus is on that.
"We know that for Ebs it's going to be a very special match, with the history and what he did for Palace. But the focus is on the team.
"If we want a very different outcome, we'd better do very different things than we did last year, especially in these fixtures. We know what Palace are doing, what Oliver [Glasner] is doing for the football club, and the way they are getting results.
"It's going to be a really tough match, but we're going to play again in front of our crowd, and we are confident that if we hit our level, we have a big chance to win it."
