Central defender Joachim Andersen already has two assists. A rare honor for the eagle.

Tooor for Crystal Palace, 2-0 through Jordan Ayew
On the pitch as a substitute, on the scoreboard as a goalscorer! From their own half, the Eagles play a pass to Ayew in the person of Andersen. His man-marker Gabriel wants to get the ball in front of him, but rushes past the pass with his leg stretched. Ayew has a clear path 16 meters in front of the goal and flicks the thing into the left corner with an overview!

21:23
For the third or fourth time of the game, Ramsdale hits a ball high back under pressure. Arsenal just don’t get to build the game from behind here.

Clyne moves up wide and crosses flat from the right into the middle. However, a defender pays attention and clears for the guests.

The Gunners need to shake themselves. They probably didn’t expect to be behind, but the result is okay so far.

21:17
Tooor for Crystal Palace, 1-0 through Jean-Philippe Mateta
There’s the Eagles lead! Gallagher runs to the free kick in the left half field and hits it far on the second post. There Joachim Andersen goes for the ball, but he accidentally heads back into the center, allowing Mateta to nod off from close range!

21:16
Good action by Thomas Partey, who surprisingly runs through to the baseline when throwing in, receives the ball and volleys in the center. To his misfortune, the ball flies too close to the goal, which is why Guaita jumps onto the flank.

21:15
There are problems with the linesman’s technique on the sidelines. In a few seconds, the radio will be exchanged so that we can continue.
13
21:14
A through ball from the left half-field into Mateta’s run, but Ramsdale ran out of the goal in front of the former Mainz player and grabbed the ball.

21:12
Gallagher tries hard on the right wing, pulls out a throw-in and works his way to the baseline. However, he is unlucky when trying to cross, is blocked and the leather jumps out of his own leg into the goal.

But the Eagles definitely don’t want to stop just yet. They are still the more active team, although there are still no clear chances.

21:06
Arsenal appear to have weathered the initial pressure and are allowed to advance into the Glaziers’ half with their full squad for the first time.

21:04
Opposite Smith-Rowe runs into the opponent’s penalty area and is served by Lacazette. But the sharp pass rolls straight through his legs into the goal.

21:03
Crystal Palace put pressure on early and ran up the opponent. The first dangerous cross flies in front of the goal from the left, but there is no conclusion.

The home side toast. The ball rolls. Let the wild ride begin!
20:56
The teams gather in the catacombs of tranquil Selhurst Park. It will not be long.
20:51
Paul Tierney from Wigan takes charge of this game. The 41-year-old official will be assisted by linesmen Constantine Hatzidakis and Neil Davies.
20:43
The Glaziers and Gunners have met regularly since the late 1960s. In 50 games, however, Crystal Palace only managed five wins. It can therefore certainly be spoken of as a fearful opponent. In the first leg, however, Arsenal only managed to make it 2-2 late in injury time.
20:35
Mikel Arteta also rotates on the goalkeeper position. With first-choice goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale recovering from a hip injury, Bernd Leno has to watch from the bench again. Also, Kieran Tierney is out for a short time, dropping Nuno Tavares into the starting lineup.
20:26
Most recently, Crystal Palace competed in the FA Cup, with Patrick Viera using his substitute goalkeeper, Jack Butland. Today the Englishman is back on the bench and makes room for Guaita. Jeffrey Schlupp and Jordan Ayew also start. The injured Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze just watch.
20:19
After the Gunners said goodbye to both cup competitions in January, Arsenal only has the league on their agenda. In fact, the north Londoners have suffered just one defeat in eight games since then and are on course for the Champions League despite fifth place in the table. After all, Arsenal are level on points with rivals Tottenham in fourth place, despite having two games less.
20:09
Crystal Palace are unbeaten in six games in all competitions. The Eagles not only made it into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but also secured a twelve-point lead over the relegation zone. Patrick Viera is therefore fully on target after there were great doubts about his person at the beginning of the season. Can Crystal also tease Arsenal today?
20:00
Crystal Palace welcome Arsenal FC to a London derby. Kick-off is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Welcome!
