Crystal Palace vs Arsenal LIVE: Latest score as Martinelli heads in opener, Saka creates second

Welcome to football.london’s live coverage of Crystal Palace vs Arsenal at Selhurst Park. The Gunners kick-off the Premier League season after an impressive pre-season run that saw Mikel Arteta’s side win five from seven.

Arsenal will be hoping for a better result at Selhurst Park compared to last season which saw the Gunners lose 3-0 to Patrick Vieira’s side. To prevent this result from being repeated it is likely that Arteta will be fielding new signings that have strengthened the team compared to the previous campaign.

Arteta has fielded the same line up in the previous two pre-season games which gives an indication on how Arsenal could line up against the Eagles. However, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu’s introduction could persuade the Gunners boss to make changes to the line-up.

Arsenal writers Kaya Kaynak and Bailey Keogh will be keeping you updated with all the happenings from the game. Scroll down for all of our latest updates from Selhurst Park, with the game due to kick-off at 8:00pm BST.
