What should have been a large derby battle with a striking superimposed double meaning: under the same London sky, the disciples of the inner chamber guided the wanderings to tell the same story, with the blessings sent by the old coach in the air, enough to make the Season already sparkled and the vibrant Premier League rise again. However, the bucket turns to the stars, the time changes the world, a generation of jiangshan has changed a generation of tianjiao, they are no longer the protagonists of the Premier League! Not to mention the ranking on the points table, the star-studded lineup alone is enough to abandon this era of chasing noise and impetuosity!
However, there are always some people, after the wind and rain of the years have eroded the honor and decency of the traditional giants layer by layer, still chase after her carved old beauty in the trance of historical imprints.
Vieira admitted he would be emotional to step into the Emirates Stadium of former owner Arsenal again on Monday.
Vieira spent nine years at Arsenal as a player, winning three Premier League titles under Wenger and captaining the Invincible team in the 2003–04 season. Since taking over crystal palace in the summer, Vieira has made a good start in rebuilding Selhurst Park. Arsenal, who haven't won a title since Vieira's departure in 2005, have stabilized the season after a dismal start to the season and are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games.
Ahead of Monday's arsenal trip to Crystal Palace, Vieira faced a choice dilemma on the offensive end.
Michael Aolis' last appearance as a substitute against Leicester City was impressive and could perhaps see the youngster making his debut at the Emirates Stadium. But Vieira will stick to the star line-up he relied on for the first few weeks at Crystal Palace.
He said: "Most of the players went into the international [mission], they played 90 minutes, some of them were a little less. There were no problems, so they were all in good health and ready. They will be ready for Monday's game. ”
Vieira confirmed that Eberic Eze and Nathan Ferguson are making progress on their return from a long injury suspension, but neither of them is fit for Monday's game.
Crystal Palace starting predictions: Guaita; Ward, Hans Christian Andersen, Geshe, Mitchell; Gallagher, Milivojevich, MacArthur; Ollis, Edward, Zaha.
Arteta has a nearly completely healthy team, which is a change from the beginning of the league. He can almost pick at will in Arsenal's match against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Xhaka is the only major absentee as he is still recovering from last month's knee injury.
Gabriel Martinelli also had doubts after last week's injury, but he is unlikely to start anyway.
Arteta is likely to be lined up with the same squad before the international break-up day with Brighton 0-0, but he may opt for a replacement midfielder. Given Arsenal at home, Espanyol may prefer a 4-3-3 formation – an attacking midfield trio of Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Erdegaard and Thomas Patti. That will see Albert Samby Lokunga exit the wing and Nicholas Pepe go into the wing.
Arsenal starting predictions: Ramsdale; Jianyang Fuan, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Smith Rowe, Thomas Patti, Martin Erdegaard; Saka, Aubameyang, Pepe.
Arsenal forecast for Crystal Palace
Arteta finally stopped the slump and grabbed points in four consecutive games, in an upward trend, but Crystal Palace has been an embarrassing opponent at the Emirates Stadium in recent years, and Vieira may choose to face Arsenal.
Arsenal 1-1 Crystal Palace.
Historical achievements
Arsenal wins: 14
Draw: 7

Digression:
Arteta said Wenger "ignited" his enthusiasm for becoming coaches with Patrick Vieira. Both former midfielders have played under Wenger.
Arteta revealed that Wenger inspired the duo to move into management, even if it meant they could all be compared to the Frenchman.
"You can choose to say no, I don't want to take that job because they're always going to compare [Wenger] to me," Arteta said. "But if you love what you want to do and feel empowered to achieve what you think you can achieve for the club, then this is your decision." Arteta thanked Wenger for his help.
Vieira began to distance herself from Swedish billionaire Daniel Ecker, who is trying to buy his former owner Arsenal.
After the club's involvement in the failed Europa League programme, Vieira and former Arsenal team-mates Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry backed Spotify founder Eck's takeover offer in April.
Henry confirmed in September that there was no "conversation" between the Kroenke family and Exke about a potential change in Arsenal ownership.
But Arsenal all-time shooter Henry said the deal wasn't over, saying: "It hasn't happened yet, but we and he will stay. So let's see what happens. However, Vieira said: "When you look at the situation at the time, it is clear that the Kroenke family is declaring that the club is not for sale. Then I think it's all over. If you don't sell, you can't buy a football club. ”
Asked about his previous support for Ike's acquisition plans, who will return to north London on Monday, Vieira said: "I just expressed myself as Patrick, a former Arsenal footballer".
