Arsenal have another tough test coming up in the Premier League, this time against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners have had a great start to the new season and are currently on top of the league table. Many even think they are the favourites to win the title.
Mikel Arteta will want his players to take things game by game, which is why all the focus is on Crystal Palace ahead of the clash on Sunday.
Some popular pundits have had their say on the London derby.

Ian Wright and Gary Neville disagree with Roy Keane’s claim about Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace will not be an easy opponent for Arsenal.
Oliver Glasner has made the Eagles a brilliant side, and they have picked up some impressive wins against the big sides over the last year.
However, Arsenal’s record against Palace is very good. They are unbeaten in their last seven games, winning six and drawing the most recent one.
That is why the Premier League leaders will go into the game on Sunday as the favourites, and all three pundits – Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Gary Neville – have predicted a Gunners’ win.
However, when Keane predicted that Palace would find the net, Wright and Neville disagreed immediately.
Here’s how their conversation went:
Keane: “3-1 Arsenal. Palace will get a goal…”
Wright: “I don’t think Palace will score.”
Neville: “Palace are not scoring. Arsenal have only conceded three goals all season.”

Arsenal have the best defence in the world
During Arsene Wenger’s two decades as the Arsenal manager, the Gunners were hailed for their attacking play. Defence, however, was always a problem.
Arteta was a part of Wenger’s sides for five years, and he must have decided then and there that he would fix the defence if he ever took charge.
That is exactly what he has done.
Arsenal have had the best defensive start to a season in their history, and they have conceded fewer goals than any other club in Europe’s top five leagues as well.
That is why Wright and Neville are so confident that Palace, who have scored 12 goals in eight games in the Premier League this term, will not find the net on Sunday.
