Arsenal really have lost all four major players this season. Now they can only defeat Crystal Palace to show their strength and cohesion.
Arsenal will definitely go all out in this game.
Arsenal must win!
The Emirates Stadium was full today. They came here under the guise of overthrowing Crystal Palace. They just wanted to create trouble for the people of Crystal Palace and they wanted to prevent Crystal Palace from winning the Premier League championship.
Today, Arsenal must win this game!
On April 17, 2016, the weather was cloudy at the Emirates Stadium in London, England.
Today’s starting lineups for both teams are as follows:
Home team Arsenal, head coach Arsene Wenger, formation 4231
Cech
The back four from left to right is Monreal, Koscielny, Gabriel and Bellerin.
Double defensive midfielder Coquelin and Elneny

lone striker Welbeck
Visiting team Crystal Palace, head coach Tong Yi, formation 4213
Alisson
The back four from left to right is Alonso, Laporte, Van Dijk and Cancelo
Double defensive midfielder Witsel and Kante

Three forwards from left to right Perisic, Jimenez and Mane
Yes, Arsenal started this game with all their main players. It can be seen that they are determined to win a victory against Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is rotating because there will be other important games in Crystal Palace in a few days.
The game is a make-up match in the 30th round of the Premier League this season. Crystal Palace will face Manchester United away from home.
This game will be played on April 21, which is three days later.
Originally, Crystal Palace has had a league match since April 23. In the 35th round of this season’s Premier League, Crystal Palace will play Everton at home. However, on April 24, Crystal Palace will usher in the English Football League this season.
Cup semi-finals, so the match dates are too close together.
Therefore, Crystal Palace's 35th round of the Premier League this season will be postponed again, directly to May 12.
Therefore, three days after the game between Crystal Palace and Arsenal ends, the 30th round of make-up games will usher in, and then two days later, Crystal Palace will usher in the FA Cup semi-finals.
In these seven days, Crystal Palace will play three games, which shows how intensive the schedule is.
Moreover, there are the finals of the Champions League and the FA Cup, etc., and there is almost one game every three or four days. This schedule really does not give the Crystal Palace people a chance to breathe. Of course, the premise is that the Crystal Palace can win in the next three or four days.
Defeated the opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals and advanced to the final.
If they are eliminated, Crystal Palace will really have a rare rest time.
However, Crystal Palace should not give up the FA Cup.
After all, Tong Yi has never won the FA Cup since he came to England. This is the closest they have come to winning the FA Cup. He will definitely try his best.
More importantly, Crystal Palace's opponent in the FA Cup semi-finals is Watford. They are not very strong and it should be difficult to stop the Crystal Palace team from advancing.
Therefore, Crystal Palace will still have to continue the rhythm of one game every three or four days, with double games almost every week.
No wonder, at this time, even though they are so far behind Crystal Palace, Leicester City people still think they still have a chance.
It's because Crystal Palace's schedule is too dense and it's easy to make mistakes.
The Leicester City people currently only have the league, which is almost one game a week. They can put all their energy into the league. What they have to do is to ensure that they win every game, and then wait for the Crystal Palace people.
Just make a mistake. As long as the Crystal Palace people make the first mistake, the pressure on the Crystal Palace will increase exponentially. At that time, the probability of the Crystal Palace people making consecutive mistakes will be very high.
So, this is the opportunity for Leicester City people.
However, Tong Yi was well prepared for such an intensive schedule.
Their Crystal Palace bench is deep. Although it is a bit difficult to face such a dense schedule, Tong Yi believes that he can still cope with it.
Therefore, in this round of competition, Crystal Palace has rotated.
After seeing the starting lineup of Crystal Palace, Arsenal fans were immediately relieved. They thought that Arsenal would definitely win this game. How could Crystal Palace win Arsenal with half the main substitute lineup?
Main lineup?
Crystal Palace must lose this game!
Arsenal fans are full of confidence!
However, Arsenal's head coach Wenger is not so confident. Even when facing the semi-main substitute Crystal Palace, he is very cautious. At the same time, he is also telling Arsenal players not to underestimate the Crystal Palace team in front of them.
Team, the players at Crystal Palace are also very good.
Wenger mentioned this issue many times in the locker room before the game.
I wonder if the Arsenal players have listened to all this?
At this time, the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game.
At the beginning of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the home court and started to attack hard. Although the Arsenal players also attach great importance to the Crystal Palace team, seeing these starting players, they will inevitably have some fluctuations in their hearts. Just you.
Can these substitute players compete with us? Arsenal must win this game!
Just five minutes into the game, Arsenal created a very good opportunity.
Arsenal's goldfish midfielder sent a very precise and exquisite through ball, directly sending the ball to the ribs of the Crystal Palace penalty area. Laporte's turn was a little slow, and Welbeck seized the opportunity.
Welbeck caught up with the football and didn't stop. He directly swung his leg and volleyed the football towards the near end corner.
The speed of the ball was very fast, like lightning. Alisson rushed out in front of the goal, but there was no chance.
Alisson never touched football at all.
The football missed the near post and flew out of the baseline.
The Arsenal fans at the scene roared in disbelief. This goal was not scored? How could this goal not be scored?
Welbeck also held his head in his hands and exclaimed in disbelief. Then he immediately turned around and waved to Goldfish Eyes to express that it was his problem and the ball was his responsibility!
To be honest, the goldfish's eyes widened and they couldn't believe it. They couldn't even seize such an opportunity?
That is to say, Arsenal's striker's ability to seize opportunities is not very good. Otherwise, his goldfish-eye assists will definitely reach 30 this season!
So far, Goldfish Eyes has sent out 17 assists in the Premier League!
It has to be said that although Jinyuyan's character is not good, he still has some abilities, especially in terms of self-love and assists.
The ball was put directly to his mouth. Welbeck was able to waste the opportunity, and there was really no one else.
Welbeck's shooting skills are indeed quite flawed. If his shooting skills are improved by two levels, he will definitely be an indispensable forward for Arsenal and England. Of course, if he has such shooting skills
It's not Arsenal's turn. Welbeck has already secured his position as the starting striker in Manchester United.
This season, Welbeck has still wasted a lot of opportunities.
As soon as he started today, he wasted an excellent opportunity.
However, it can be seen that Arsenal are in very good condition today and Wenger is full of confidence in this game.
Arsenal must win this game!
However, the next second, Crystal Palace's offense advanced directly to the front of Arsenal's penalty area.
Quick, quick!
Milinkovic directly received the header from Jimenez, and directly volleyed sideways from the penalty area line and shot the big eagle. With a bang, the football shot out quickly and hit Assen hard.
The crossbar of the goal popped out of the baseline, and the crossbar trembled uncontrollably in the air!
Arsenal fans were shocked!
It's too dangerous!
No one expected Milinkovic to be so reckless. Mane was obviously in a better position, but he didn't pass the ball and just shot with difficulty on his own. It's really inexplicable!
Cech in front of the goal was shocked. If the ball was within the goal range, they would have no chance at all!
Too dangerous!
Cech immediately roared crazily at Arsenal's midfielders, telling them to concentrate and defend seriously! Coquelin and Elneny immediately raised their hands to indicate that the ball belonged to them and that the ball was indeed their responsibility. If they were in a defensive position, Milinkovic would not have been able to take the shot so calmly.
.
Wenger also frowned slightly, these two midfielders really made him not satisfied.
However, it is true that we can't find a suitable midfielder now. Seeing that the people above don't like Arsenal, I think they are not as good as the two people in front of me. So now these two people have reluctantly stayed at Arsenal.
.
Of course, before this, Wenger was still full of expectations for these two people. Unfortunately, the growth of these two people did not meet his expectations, especially Coquelin!
Wenger immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly, reminding the two people to pay attention to defense. Why did you give up such an important position at the front of the penalty area so easily? You must be welded to death in this position. You absolutely cannot.
Give this position to the Crystal Palace people again!
This is the purpose of his double midfielder position!
Erneny and Coquelin nodded in agreement, expressing their understanding.
Tong Yi seemed very calm on the sidelines. Although he almost lost the ball at the beginning, he was still as steady as a rock.
Arsenal's offense is here again. Their offense is almost always looking for the goldfish eye in the midfield. Therefore, seeing Elneny pass the football to the goldfish eye, Kante, who has been prepared for a long time, directly hits the ball halfway.
After intercepting the football, Goldfish Eyes couldn't catch the ball at all!
Seeing this, Wenger was speechless!
Elneny, can your intention not be so obvious when you play the ball? Even he can see it. Don’t you think Kante, the top defensive midfielder and sweeping defensive midfielder, can’t see it? Isn’t this equivalent to passing the ball to Kante?
Ball?
Wenger is really going to jump on something.
He really didn't expect that Arsenal would play so passively in this game. The opponent was Crystal Palace's semi-main and semi-substitute lineup. If they faced the full main lineup, would our Arsenal be brutally slaughtered?
?What are you doing? Can you play well?
With a bang, Kanter passed the football to Milinkovic-Savic.
Coquelin immediately stepped forward, but Milinkovic did not stop the ball and spread his legs to leak the football to the side.
Perisic, who retreated from the wing to hold the ball, quickly turned around and passed the ball directly to Alonso, who was rushing up the wing. Alonso's speed is not particularly fast, but this time the pass and run are very fast.
Due to the tacit understanding and Arsenal's defense making some mistakes, the full-back did not expect the ball to be passed so easily, so his reaction was half a beat too slow.
It was in this half-shot that Alonso on the wing caught up with the football and without any adjustments, he directly started to pass the ball. With an arc, he passed the football between the two Arsenal center backs.
He quickly got in on the onrushing Jimenez in the middle, jumped up high, and smashed the football with his head.
Mount Tai is overwhelming!
Jimenez hit the football firmly on the head and slammed the football into the Arsenal goal.
