After dropping two valuable points in the title race with a midweek 2-2 draw against Southampton, Arsenal is gearing up to face Crystal Palace this Sunday in the 24th day of the Premier League. The Gunners are determined to bounce back from their recent setback and secure a win at the Emirates Stadium.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, enters the match with a sense of confidence after securing two consecutive victories against Stoke and Hull City, both with a scoreline of 1-0. Marouane Chamakh, who once played for Arsenal, will be eager to relish a return to his former club’s stadium. Despite experiencing a somewhat disappointing stint at Arsenal between 2010 and 2013, Chamakh has since gained confidence and maturity during his time at Crystal Palace.
“I think I have gained confidence since arriving at Crystal Palace as I have played several matches. I am very happy to return to the Emirates Stadium and looking forward to meeting the players, the coach, and the supporters. I have very good memories at Arsenal. I learned a lot there, about discipline, English football… and I continue to learn at Palace,” shared the Moroccan international, highlighting his positive outlook on his return to Arsenal.
