Crystal Palace host Arsenal.
Arsenal's testing festive schedule continues on Wednesday, when they take on a resurgent Crystal Palace side at Selhurst Park.
The Gunners were involved in a remarkable 3-3 draw with Liverpool last week, showcasing both attacking flair and defensive ineptitude. Manager Arsene Wenger will want to see a much more comprehensive performance from the players involved in south London.
That may be a big ask against a Crystal Palace team making major progress under Roy Hodgson, though. Having languished near the bottom of the Premier League table for a while, the Eagles now look too good to be involved in a relegation battle.
Here's the key team news ahead of the contest, the viewing details for the game and a look ahead at what'll be a fascinating fixture.

Team News
Crystal Palace: Hodgson will be able to welcome Christian Benteke back from suspension for this one. Connor Wickham and Chung-Yong Lee are both long-term absentees.
Likely XI: Julian Speroni; Martin Kelly, James Tomkins, Scott Dann, Jeffrey Schlupp; Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye, Luka Milivojevic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek; Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke.
Arsenal: The Gunners are set to be without Aaron Ramsey once again, meaning Jack Wilshere may continue in midfield. Wenger also has a big decision to make at left-back between Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac. Santi Cazorla remains sidelined.
Likely XI: Petr Cech; Hector Bellerin, Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac; Jack Wilshere, Granit Xhaka; Danny Welbeck, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez; Alexandre Lacazette

Three points for the gooners!!!

This match is gonna be a difficult one for Arsenal, it's a derby,the eagles play a compact game if they can block Arsenal passes and counter then they can steal a win. Arsenal on the other hand need to focus on their passes and be wary of a counter from Zaha and Townsend. Then they can hurt Palace. I predict a 2-2 draw.

Shoot to kill arsenal

Up Chelsea

okay

Air Commodore Vishal was a Jet Pilot. In a combat mission his fighter plane was destroyed by a missile. He however ejected himself and parachuted safely. He won acclaims and appreciations from many.
After five years one day he was sitting with his wife in a restaurant. A man from another table came to him and said "You're Captain Vishal ! You flew jet fighters. You were shot down!"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Vishal.
"I packed your parachute," the man smiled and replied.
Vishal gasped in surprise and gratitude and thought if parachute hadn't worked, I wouldn’t be here today.
Vishal couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. He wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you?' or anything because, he was a fighter pilot and that person was just a safety worker"
So friends, who is packing your parachute?
Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.
We need many kinds of parachutes when our plane is shot down – we need the physical parachute, the mental parachute, the emotional parachute, the spiritual parachute & the Financial Parachute.We call on all these supports before reaching safety.Sometimes in the daily challenges that life gives us, we miss what is really important.
We may fail to say hello, please, or thank you, congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or just do something nice for no reason.
As you go through this last week of the year, recognize the people who pack your parachute.
I just want to THANK Everyone who Packed my parachute this 2017 one way or the other - through your words, deeds, prayers. Cheers For 2018.... Thank you all and God bless you. Hope to get more of your prayers, care and support in 2018. Wish you all a very blessed & blissful celebration.

I smell and over 2.5.
