Crystal Palace Archives: 12/2016

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates on Sunday for the first match of 2017. Here’s everything you need to know about them ahead of the game.

After a nervy 1-0 win over West Brom last time out, Arsenal will be hoping for easier going when they entertain Crystal Palace on New Year’s Day.

Andre Marriner will take charge of Arsenal v Crystal Palace on Sunday at the Emirates and Arsenal fans will be hoping that he offers a bit more protection than he did the last time he refereed an Arsenal game.

Apparently, one of the first signings that Sam Allardyce wants to make as Crystal Palace manager is Kieran Gibbs.
