Arsenal Welcomes Former Star Eze in Crucial Clash with Crystal Palace

This Sunday, Arsenal will host Crystal Palace in a highly anticipated Premier League clash, with the main talking point being the return of Eberechi Eze to face his former club.

Eze, who joined Arsenal from Crystal Palace in a £60 million move last August, has been a revelation for the Gunners. The 27-year-old was a talismanic figure for the Eagles last season, scoring 14 goals and providing 12 assists as Palace won the FA Cup. His performances earned him the big-money move to Arsenal, and he has since slotted seamlessly into Mikel Arteta's side, with a delightful assist against Manchester City last month underlining his quality.

As a team, Arsenal have been in irresistible form since their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool earlier in the season. They now sit top of the Premier League and have been brushing aside most opponents with ease. However, Arteta will know that Palace present a stern challenge, and he will be eager to see another strong performance from his team.

The Eagles, meanwhile, have endured a patchy run of form with two defeats in their last three matches, including a 1-0 loss to AEK Larnaca in the Conference League. Oliver Glasner will be desperate to see his side recapture the form that saw them start the season so brightly, with the contributions of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr, who have scored eight of Palace's 12 goals this season, set to be crucial.
