Team News:
I first wondered how Ian Holloway was going to fare back in the Premier League as early as the opening weekend of the season.
Not because his team were poor in their first game against Tottenham, but because of the intensity of his reaction to the result. You may remember they lost 1-0 to a penalty for handball and, although Spurs deserved to win, I thought Palace played okay and kept the game reasonably tight.
Holloway was absolutely steaming about a perceived foul on the halfway line shortly before the penalty award, and was ultimately fined and given a touchline ban for his reaction.
They could almost have played the game again in the time we had to wait to interview him after the match and he was still intensely annoyed an hour and 20 minutes later.
The point I'm making is that he appeared to be wound up like a clock and looked like a man who'd worked himself to the bone all summer. I left Selhurst Park thinking it was going to be a long winter if he was already blowing a gasket to that intensity.
Desire, total commitment and enthusiasm are what you always get from Holloway and he did a great job in leading Palace up in his first season. But the usual effervescence wasn't there anymore after a chaotic summer that took its toll on the spirit within the squad and the spirit of the manager.
While the search for a new manager is underway, the season rolls on and Keith Millen, Holloway's number two, faces the daunting prospect of being in charge for the visit of league leaders Arsenal for this lunchtime kick-off.
He'll try to lift a squad who've scored only twice and conceded 13 in a run of five straight defeats, culminating in Monday's 4-1 home defeat by Fulham.
Head-to-head
Crystal Palace have only won one of the eight Premier League meetings (D2, L5). Those two draws however did come in their last two home clashes with the Gunners (1997 and 2004).
Arsenal won the last Premier League meeting 5-1 in February 2005. That game saw the Gunners field a 16-man squad with no British players for the first time.
Palace have not beaten Arsenal at home, in any competition, since a 1-0 top-flight victory in November 1979.
Crystal Palace
Palace and Sunderland have yet to keep a clean sheet in the league this season.
The Eagles have lost their last five league matches. The last time they lost six league games in a row was March 2001.
Despite their struggles, Palace have scored first in three of their eight league games this season.
They have conceded more goals from set pieces this season (nine) than any other side in the Premier League.
The Eagles have taken just 40 points from their 44 Premier League London derbies.
Arsenal
The Gunners have scored three times as many league goals as Palace this season (18 versus 6).
Arsenal have scored in their last 13 Premier League games - the longest current run in the league.
Their midweek defeat against Borussia Dortmund ended a run of 12 unbeaten matches in all competitions (W10, D2)
The Gunners have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels in the league this season.
Aaron Ramsey has scored more goals for Arsenal (9) in all competitions than the entire Crystal Palace squad combined (7).
As well as scoring four Premier League goals, Olivier Giroud has a league-high four assists.
