Arsenal and Crystal Palace lock horns in both teams' first match of the calendar year in the Premier League as they look to reignite their respective campaigns.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal stumbled drastically in the last few weeks of 2023 as a draw against Liverpool and successive defeats against West Ham United and Fulham saw them slip from the pinnacle of the English summit to the fourth spot. After a shambolic defeat against Liverpool in the FA Cup, the Spanish manager will be hoping to change their fortunes in the new year as they'll be aiming to scale back the heights and challenge for the crown once again.
Crystal Palace ended their 2023 with a win against Brentford but have since been dumped out of the FA Cup with Everton managing a 1-0 victory in the competition. Roy Hodgson's men are 14th in the league with just wins this season and will be looking to produce an upset against their London rivals.
