Crystal Palace v Arsenal live: Martinelli gives Gunners early lead

We're now hearing that he's signed for DC United. What a coup that is for their boss, a certain Wayne Rooney.

We should be in for a lively one tonight. These two played out a pair of belters last season, with Arsenal nicking a late draw at the Emirates in the October before Palace gained revenge by hosing down the Gunners 3-0 at Selhurst Park in April.

Both clubs feel upbeat in mood, and these two ambitious young managers have been backed in the transfer market in the summer.

There’s no Christian Benteke in the squad for Palace, amid talk of a late move to DC United. Making his bow for Palace tonight though is Cheick Doucoure, a £22 million signing from Lens in July to bolster the midfield. There’s no Fabio Vieira for Arsenal, but two other big summer signings of their own in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko make their full debuts tonight.

Crystal Palace: Guaita; Clyne, Guehi, Andersen, Mitchell; Eze, Doucoure, Schlupp; Ayew, Edouard, Zaha…Subs: Johnstone, Ward, Milivojevic, Mateta, Hughes, Ebiowei, Richards, Riedewald, Plange

Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Saka, Partey, Xhaka, Martinelli; Odegaard; Jesus…Subs: Turner, Tierney, Nketiah, Holding, Cedric, Pepe, Lokonga, Nelson, Elneny

Hello and welcome to live coverage of the opening matching of the 2022-23 Premier League season from Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace, off the back of an impressive first season under Patrick Viera, are hosting Arsenal, who are determined to crack the top four this year after a five-year absence from the Champions League. It's a big old season for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta too; team news incoming.
