PREVIEW: CHANCE FOR ARSENAL TO EXTEND THEIR LEAD AT TOP

Crystal palace will be hosting Arsenal at Selhurst park as teams from opposite ends of table takes on each other. Wenger would be hoping to advance their lead at the top of the league while the eagles will be looking to end their losing streak of five consecutive matches
            Crystal palace will be without their manager Ian Holloway as the 50year old manager left the club as he is unable to withstand the pressure at top flight. Holloway’s assistant Keith Millen will deputize until co-chairman Steve Parish finds a suitable replacement. With just three points in the opening eight Premier League fixtures, avoiding relegation will be an uphill battle. Rumors are rife that ex-Stoke City manager Tony Pulis could be the next man in the hot seat. Keith Millenhas no fresh injury worries, with Glenn Murray (knee), Jack Hunt and Jonathan Williams (both ankle) all long-term absentees, while centre-back Patrick McCarthy will hope to at least feature on the bench after recently returning to training following a groin injury.
            In contrast arsenal will be looking to rest their key players ahead of big games against Chelsea, Liverpool and united. Bendtner, jenkinson, vermaelen may get a place in starting line up while Flamini who recovered from injury would be starting. Arsenal head into the fixture as overwhelming favourites after taking 19 points from a possible 24 this season.Wenger’s charges are unbeaten in their previous 13 away games in all competitions, winning 11 and drawing two.
          It’s not a matter of who will win (Arsenal, obviously) but by how much matters. Arsene wenger will be giving chance to his youngsters to show their talent in this fixture
