Arsenal and Chelsea's modern day rivalry has seen the two London clubs trade bragging rights throughout the 21st Century. At this moment in time, it is the Gunners who are in the driving seat, tipped to end their Premier League title drought in May next year. There is a long way to go and plenty of football to be played, including games which will undoubtedly come to be decided by the likes of Bukayo Saka and Blues' talisman Palmer.

Crystal Palace managed to retain key players like Jean Philippe-Mateta and Marc Guehi, despite notable departures during the summer transfer window. Eberechi Eze completed a high-profile move to Arsenal, and Palace were very close to losing their captain Guehi, to Liverpool. Meanwhile, Mateta attracted interest from multiple clubs as well. However, Palace were adamant that they did not want to lose him. They will be delighted to have kept the two players eventually.
