English Premier League rave of the moment, Crystal Palace, has been dreaming of a repeat performance on Monday when they face troubled Arsenal Football Club.
The team has just ended Chelsea’s unbeaten run last weekend and they are sure of pulling down another top elite side in the series.
Palace, who played Antonio Conte’s side without Nigeria’s international, Victor Moses, are in a killer mood to make Arsene Wenger’s boys suffer yet another defeat on Monday.
Coached by a veteran of many wars, Sam Allardyce, former manager of Super Eagles skipper, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Crystal Palace has developed a thick skin to survive all odds.
Allardyce said he will still rely on Wilfred Zaha and Christian Benteke, the twin striking partners that broke the Stamford Bridge into two.
The former Bolton Wanderers manager plans to introduce another promising player, Sullay Kaikai against the Gunners.
The young player has been involved in a number of test matches for the Palace. “I think he played in the FA Cup game against Bolton and I see a lot of potential in the young man,” he said.
