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.” Nick Bright and Adrian Clarke will be providing live analysis from our brand new studio at Emirates Stadium, while Frimmy grabs the views of our supporters from Selhurst Park. 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.

Jesus starts up front for Arsenal with support from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in the wide areas. 1 min: Palace kick off and the 22/23 Premier League season is under way! The ball fell nicely for the Arsenal left back on the edge of the Palace box, he struck it cleanly, but Guaita makes the stop. Jesus starts up front and Zinchenko is at left back for the Gunners. Of course, this Palace team have changed their style of play since the appointment of Vieira last summer. The Crystal Palace players and the home fans inside Selhurst Park claim for a spot kick after the ball appeared to strike the arm of Gabriel as a clearance dropped back to the ground from high, but the replays show there wasn't much in that. The Brazilian forward is dribbling past Palace defenders and is drifting out wide to create space for himself to run into. The Crystal Palace strike rode a couple of tackles inside the Arsenal penalty area and got the shot away, but it takes a deflection off Xhaka and flashes over the crossbar! Palace are having such a difficult time stopping the new Arsenal number nine. Andersen is starting to play some long passes forward to try and unsettle the Arsenal defence.

Minute-by-minute report: The 2022-23 season is here, as Arsenal start their campaign with a tricky trip to Selhurst Park. Join Rob Smyth.

72 min Here’s that chance for Eze at the start of the second half. Zaha retrieves the ball, beats White in the area and is emphatically tackled by Saliba. He’s having an excellent debut. 59 min: Chance for Odegaard! Jesus steals the ball off the dawdling Guehi and charges into space down the right. Zaha collects the loose ball, gets to the byline and has a cutback booted clear. Saliba and Gabriel look really solid in the centre of their defence. Clyne retrives it on the far side and puts it back into the middle. He switched the ball onto his right foot and hammered a cross that was headed into his own net by Guehi at the near post. Reliably informed by a Norwegian friend that Ødegaard should be pronounced ‘Erdegord’. I wonder: which Premier League footballer’s name is the most egregiously mispronounced?” 81 min A fierce cross from Zaha, Palace’s best player, flashes across the Arsenal area. Arsenal begin the Premier League season with a solid victory at Selhurst Park. Gabriel Martinelli’s 20th-minute header was a deserved reward for a blistering start in which Gabriel Jesus caught the eye. They worked the ball nicely from left to right, where Saka ran at the backpedalling Mitchell just inside the area. Arsenal had to work much harder in the second half – another debutant, the centre-half William Saliba, was terrific – before Marc Guehi’s late own goal gave them a two-goal cushion.

"It was very good because we start with a win and a clean sheet," Saliba, who spent the last two-and-a-half years on loan in France, said. Minutes later it was Granit Xhaka making the intervention as he got a foot in to deflect Edouard's close-range shot over the crossbar. Arsenal took their impressive preseason form into the start of the game, pressing well and dominating the early going.

It wasn't always smooth sailing but Arsenal did enough to take 2-0 win away from Selhurst Park.

So far it's all Arsenal as Crystal Palace can't get a foot on the ball. It was a fortunate one as well when Crystal palace didn't track ZInchenko on a corner giving him an open header to Martinelli. But despite the Gunners taking five shots, and putting two on target, Martinelli's miss earlier in the match could make things a lot more comfortable. Andersen played a ball across the face of the net and Ramsdale was ready for Edouard's header. Arsenal have yet to make a change but one could be coming to get fresh legs on the pitch. Crystal Palace already earned a corner from it less than two minutes into the second half. The gunners need a second goal so that they can pack things in deep because Palace are growing in confidence by the minute. But it wouldn't be enough to get back into the match against a strong Arsenal side. Crystal Palace created chances but Arsenal held strong to ensure a victory. While Jesus didn't score, he was a menace in the press and creating chances but the team just needs more chemistry to turn his chances into goals. In a goal made on the training ground, Bukayo Saka floated a corner to an oncoming Zinchenko who headed it across goal for an easy finish. Last season that was Gallagher who scored eight goals and assisted three more in the league but this season Vieira is counting on Olise being that person. Crystal Palace created chances but Arsenal held strong to ensure a victory.
