Arsenal travels to the neighbourhood, more precisely to Selhurst Park, where they will face off against Crystal Palace. Following the summer arrivals of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Viera and Oleksandr Zinchenko, the fans dream of returning to their team and maybe even fighting for the title. Arsenal played great warm-up matches, Gabriel Jesus proved to be a player that was sorely missed by the team led by Arteta. Ever since Robin Van Persie, Arsenal have been struggling to find a striker who will be able to score 20+ goals in a season. Out of 7 games in the pre-season, Arsenal won 6, they were only defeated by Brentford, and what pleases the professional staff and the fans the most is the 6-0 victory against Sevilla at the Emirates, bearing in mind that Sevilla is one of the best European clubs in the past season. Arsenal played one of the best matches in the past few years, Saka and Jesus did what they wanted and after twenty minutes it was 4-0 for Arsenal. Surely this convincing victory will give confidence to the Arsenal players, they played fantastically, Arteta is slowly putting the team together and it will be very interesting to watch Arsenal this season.

Crystal Palace changed their coach last season, Roy Hodgson left and he was replaced by Viera, and the style of play of the team from East London changed a lot. For years, Crystal Palace was considered a team that plays very defensive football, but that changed with the arrival of Vier, an Arsenal legend who practices a more modern football based on the passing game. His team is literally a mid-table team that doesn't have any excessive ambitions in the league and their primary goal is to stay in the league. They brought in Doucuoure from Lens, who is to replace Kouyate who left the team and Richards from Bayern. There were no major departures, so we will see literally the same team as last season with Zaha as the team's main player. Arsenal enters the new season with great ambitions, the team has been strengthened with players paid over 100 million pounds and the preparatory games have shown that they are slowly becoming a very serious team. I expect a very open game from the beginning as both teams like to play attacking football.

Arsenal will have a tough away game against Crystal Palace, no doubt about that, last season they were defeated here with 3-0, but this is a new Arsenal and I think they will manage to win the first game of the season because they really have a very "hell" team.

My prediction;

Outcome: Arsenal to win

阿森纳来到了附近，更准确地说是塞尔赫斯特公园，在那里他们将对阵水晶宫。在今夏引进了盖伯瑞尔-赫苏斯、法比奥-维埃拉和奥列克桑德尔-津琴科之后，球迷们梦想着回到自己的球队，甚至可能为冠军而战。阿森纳打了非常棒的热身赛，加布里埃尔-赫苏斯证明了他是阿尔特塔领导的球队非常想念的一名球员。自从范佩西之后，阿森纳一直在努力寻找一名能在一个赛季内打进20+球的前锋。在季前赛的7场比赛中，阿森纳赢了6场，他们只输给了布伦特福德，而最让专业工作人员和球迷高兴的是在酋长球场6-0战胜塞维利亚，记住塞维利亚是过去赛季欧洲最好的俱乐部之一。阿森纳踢出了过去几年最好的比赛之一，萨卡和杰西做了他们想做的，20分钟后阿森纳4-0。毫无疑问，这场令人信服的胜利将给阿森纳球员带来信心，他们踢得非常棒，阿尔特塔正在慢慢地把球队整合起来，本赛季观看阿森纳的比赛将是非常有趣的。

上赛季水晶宫换了教练，霍奇森离开了，他被维埃拉取代，这支来自东伦敦的球队的打法改变了很多。多年来，水晶宫一直被认为是一支非常注重防守的球队，但随着维耶的到来，这种情况发生了改变。维耶是阿森纳的传奇人物，他以传球为基础，练习更现代的足球。他的球队实际上是一支中游球队，在联赛中没有太多的野心，他们的首要目标是留在联赛中。他们从伦斯引进了杜库尔，他将取代离开球队的库亚特和拜仁的理查兹。没有大的球员离开，所以我们会看到上赛季扎哈作为主力的球队。阿森纳带着巨大的野心进入新赛季，球队实力得到了加强，球员的身价超过了1亿英镑，预备赛也表明他们正在慢慢成为一支非常严肃的球队。我希望从一开始就有一场非常开放的比赛，因为两支球队都喜欢踢进攻型足球。

阿森纳将会在客场对阵水晶宫，这是毫无疑问的，上赛季他们在这里被3-0击败，但这是一个新的阿森纳，我认为他们会赢得赛季的第一场比赛，因为他们真的有一支非常“地狱”的球队。
