But it’s true, we are with a level of energy and ambition to have a successful season and we have to show that on the pitch." “Those two players are so pushy and willing to contribute with the team and that is what we done. "When you bring top players, they are coming from top clubs and they have been extremely successful over the years, they’re going to expect that. The role that Gabby has here is going to be very different to the role that Gabby had in his previous club. They have the squad to challenge and be closer to the title. Last year at home with the support we had we had some really good matches, and it will be important to keep it that way.” From there, we compile a table and then publish it, at which point everybody laughs at how deluded everyone else is. Each year, as the Premier League returns, we ask our subscribers a very simple question: how are you feeling? His brother, Judicael, called upon Palace to sanction a departure for Arsenal in the summer of 2019. Even the intervention of “superagent” Pini Zahavi failed to achieve the desired outcome. Various representatives have come and gone in an attempt to generate a move. “Michael is a couple of weeks away,” Vieira said at his first pre-match press conference.

In the first game of the 2022-23 Premier League season, it's worth backing the home underdog Crystal Palace side.

Palace ranked fourth in the EPL, ahead of Arsenal, in xG allowed and actually lost one fewer match than the Gunners did in ’21-22. Despite finishing 12th, the Eagles posted the seventh-best goal differential, sixth-best xG differential and were the fourth-best team at preventing big scoring chances. Their underlying metrics supported Arsenal’s surge in form as they posted a +19.6 expected goal (xG) differential in that span. After a wobbly start in 2021-22, the Gunners went 15-1-9 (win-draw-loss) and posted a +15 goal differential over their last 25 matches. Must be 21+.

Martin Tyler has apologised after appearing to link the Hillsborough disaster with hooliganism. All a bit obvious, but at least this season we get to have a break while the top players sweat buckets in a hot place” – John Lawton. “They have been inspired by top players, top professionals, ruthless winners for many years … and now it’s their turn to do the same. I guess Sky Sports are giving teams £5bn to provide TV coverage for the same people that were watching Division One in 1992” – Graham Haslam. We’ve lined up the essentials – tin hat, Tin – and will be foregoing the not inconsiderable pleasure of George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations on 4Seven so that we can watch Crystal Palace v Arsenal. There’s been a remarkable renovation – pick that segue out – at Arsenal. According to our chirpy and occasionally decipherable nephew #5r, they’ve already won pre-season. No wonder their fans are daring to dream that, if all goes to plan, this could finally be the year they reach the promised land of fourth place. Never mind winning – one of Arsenal’s challenges is to start drawing. The best league in the world at saying it’s the best league in the world returns to our orbit on Friday night, and The Fiver is ready.

They have the squad to challenge and be closer to the title. They last had a longer unbeaten home run in the top-flight between March - August 1992, while they’ve never kept six consecutive home clean sheets in the top division. A mixture of first-team and academy players weren’t discredited in defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United, before drawing against Leeds United. The rest of their recruits seemingly look to be about building depth, with American defender Chris Richards arriving from Bayern Munich, teenager Malcolm Ebiowei plucked from cash-strapped Derby County, and former England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone snapped up on a free.
