RamseyHere is an in-depth look at tomorrow’s Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Arsenal:

PREVIOUS MEETING

August 16, 2014 (Premier League)

Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace (Koscielny 45, Ramsey 90 – Hangeland 35)

Palace took a shock lead through Brede Hangeland’s header in the 35th minute, but just before the half-time interval, Laurent Koscielny got a deft flick from Alexis Sanchez free-kick.

Arsenal pushed for a winner and were rewarded for their efforts despite Palace’s endeavour thanks to Aaron Ramsey prodding home the decider in second-half injury time.

In truth, it wasn’t the best of performances from the Gunners and Palace defended well throughout but lost a man and concentration in the dying minutes.

ARSENAL STARTING XI: Szczesny, Debuchy, Koscielny, Chambers, Gibbs (Monreal 53), Wilshere (Oxlade-Chamberlain 69), Ramsey, Arteta, Cazorla, Sanchez, Sanogo (Giroud 62)

CRYSTAL PALACE STARTING XI: Speroni, Ward, Dann (Delaney 75), Hangeland, Kelly, Ledley, Jedinak, Bolasie (O’Keefe 90), Puncheon, Chamakh, Campbell (Gayle 85)

ATTENDANCE: 59,962
