Crystal Palace vs Arsenal; Friday 5th August, 7:00 PM GMT

slightly spooked that I'm looking forward to the opening game. it's been years since I've been really up for matchday 1, maybe going all the way back to the season we signed Alexis

goon

Same. I don't even have that niggling feeling that they're going to let us down. But now that I've said that...

Clrnc

With the expectations so high what could happen. ..

Rohit

I think we will tonk them if we press anything like we have been doing in pre season and there is no reason we shouldn't be able to other than getting distracted by the crowd.

Jesus, Martinelli and Saka will press like animals.

Shocking stuff. We were in such chaos at the start of last season we really ought to move ahead in this one. I guess United and Spurs will also make the same argument.

Expectation management aside, anything less than three points in this will instantly take the shine off our dominant preseason. It'd be very heartening to open the season with a solid run of results through to Liverpool and Spurs who from memory come up round match week nine and ten or thereabouts.

As the All or Nothing reminded me Spurs started last season really well, 3 wins from the first 3.

I think we'll start well, I've doubts about sustaining it but I think the moods high, key players are fit and we look in great condition for the start of the season.

This is quite something to see:

Really hope we capitalise on the good feeling and ride that wave.

Ray

I think the signing of Jesus and Vieira has got everyone excited. Also Saliba coming back, we finally have a CB duo worth their salt.

Their last preseason game.

Palace are feeling themselves too. it will be a good litmus test for us

KingslandBarge

Should be a good contest tonight, looking forward to it. Not too focused on the result.

Wonder if Elneny will start.

HomeSteak

He won't start, why would he?

flobaba

I can see this being another high scoring game. We can't afford to let their strikers take on our defenders one v one too often. They are too tricky, especially on the counter. This sort of game is where having a midfield player a bit more agile and mobile than Xhaka! would come in handy.

Chelsea fans feeling really low because of so many missed transfers but

Sterling, Hutchinson, Cucurella, Koulibaly, Chukwuemeka is a really good window too. Weird they feel like shit just because they missed out on these

He checks the boxes

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'm nervous. We play like shit there.

lorddulaarsenal

That’s where I’m hoping our increased technical ability with the likes of Zinchenko and Jesus will help. Don’t feel confident mind. Wouldn’t even if we had City’s team

lorddulaarsenal

Hope we wear the black kit tonight
