Couldn't find a thread (apart from the table prediction one) so starting this one.
Season starts tonight, Palace v Arsenal.
Obviously most people will know the 5 subs rule is now back as the PL falls in line with the rest of Europe. But there is another change (probably for the better), where the Premier League will bring in a multi-ball system to reduce delays when the ball is out of play.
"There will be 10 balls in total - the match ball, one with the fourth official and eight around the pitch on cones next to a 'ball assistant'."
Back to the game tonight, Arsenal have had an amazing pre-season smashing everyone and scoring 20 goals in 5 games. Would be typical tonight that it finishes Palace 1 Arsenal 0.

They looked very average when Gallagher wasnt playing, and thought whilst they got mid-table... Vieira did nothing overly special in the League.
Palars can and will probably cause a few scares its just how Arsenal deal with that, if they can get an early goal and hopefully they can put Palars to the sword. I think we are dreaming if we think they would be anywhere near the relegation, but here's hoping!
Should be a good game and fingers crossed Arsenal thump them!
Here’s hoping it’s finally the season when Nigels get relegated. I can’t see it, but here’s wishing.
The big question mark though is how they cope with the PL and European football. Last year they weren't in Europe and still couldn't get top 4.
Pressure is definitely on Arteta this year though. Arsenal are the biggest spenders in world football since last summer, although Chelsea will soon overtake them the way they're throwing money around.
I like their signings, again don't know much of Viera and how he will fit in yet, i would guess Zinchenko will be moved to CM once Tierney is back as thats the position he wants to play and plays for Ukraine. Jesus should on paper be a great signing, although he does need a few chances to convert so needs to get up and running early really to settle, i am sure Arsenal fans were pushing for Saliba to start last year so will be good to see him get some games, they just need to cut out the silly sending offs too, be aggressive but not overly.
Started and finished the 3 episodes on Prime last night and recommend, i didn't realise how good Arteta speaks in team talks and just in general seems a very clever manager.
Martinelli was in front of him on the flank
