Arsenal will suffer dejavu this weekend when they travel to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace for the second time this week, following a Carabao Cup match.
Mikel Arteta’s team triumphed 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night. They fell behind 1-0 after Jean Phillipe Mateta scored, but Gabriel Jesus equalized and then took the lead in the 73rd minute.
Jesus then scored again in the 81st minute, completing his hat-trick and scoring his first goal of the season for Arsenal. Eddie Nketiah, a former Arsenal player, scored a consolation goal to make the score 3-2. Arsenal will look to make it back-to-back Premier League victories against Oliver Glasner’s side, who will welcome the Gunners to Selhurst Park following a 3-1 victory over Brighton last weekend.

The Premier League has named Simon Hooper to take charge of Saturday’s game at Selhurst Park. This season, he has overseen 13 games in the Premier League, Championship, and League Cup.
Hooper has issued 63 yellow cards this season, including two red cards. He was part in Liverpool’s controversial encounter against Tottenham last season, when a Luis Diaz goal was incorrectly called out for offside. The linesman flagged the Liverpool player, and VAR did not intervene to overturn the verdict due to a communication failure. A PGMOL statement later acknowledged a substantial human error.
The fourth official on Saturday will be Oli Langford, who has officiated in three Championship games this season, the most recent being Derby County’s 4-0 victory over Portsmouth last Friday.
