The wait for fans of the world’s biggest championship is over: on Friday at Selhurst Park in London, the Premier League kicks off with a local derby between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.

Crystal Palace are coming off a fine season under Patrick Vieira, who finished 12th last season. The former AC Milan, Juventus, Inter, Arsenal and Manchester City star took charge of the Eagles last summer after less successful spells at New York City and Nice.

The stars of the team are the Ghanaian Jordan Ayew (son of the famous Abedi Ayew “Pele”) and the Ivorian Wilfried Zaha, two world-class forwards.

There have been no impressive moves at team level this summer, with the departure of Cheikhou Kouyate (out of contract) being offset by the arrival of Cheik Doucourt from RC Lens, another interesting arrival is Chirs Richards from Bayern (on loan last season at Hoffenheim).

Arsenal, who finished 5th last season, have been dreaming of another English title for 18 years, but a place in the Champions League, which they have not reached since 2016, would be a more realistic goal. – the 2017 season.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has done well in the transfer market and brought in Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko (both from Manchester City), Fabio Vieira (Porto) and William Saliba (back from loan at Olympique Marseille). .

Together with Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Nicolas Pepe, the newcomers can turn the legendary team from Highbury into one of the main heroes of the new season of the Premier League.

The last 10 head-to-head matches highlighted the balance between the two teams, with Crystal Palace winning twice, Arsenal winning three and five of those meetings ending in draws.
