Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of [Arsenal's](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/) Premier League clash this weekend. The Gunners face Crystal Palace looking to yet again pick up a win against a side who stole points off them in the previous campaign.
After wins over Newcastle United, West Ham United and Fulham, they provided a net gain of eight points and a win on Sunday takes that run to ten. Yet this will not be easy with Palace having already beaten title rivals Liverpool and have plenty of threat.
It will be the first time Eberechi Eze faces his former club since his £67.5million move from south to north London. He has still yet to fully adapt to the Premier League leaders but could be inspired when facing the Eagles.
There will be updates from the win over Atletico Madrid which saw Viktor Gyokeres bag a brace. Arteta will give the latest on player fitness with several stars still out.
These will be high on the agenda on Friday morning, with questions on the topic expected. You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and much more from **football.london's** Arsenal reporter, Tom Canton, in our live blog below.
