When I look at the match schedule I see that there is only one match in the Premier League today. Arsenal will play against Crystal Palace at home. Arsenal have lost points in the last few weeks and have fallen from the top of the league to 4th place. On the other hand, Crystal Palace have the possibility of being relegated to a lower league this season. After Wilfred Zaha left the team, their attacking power has weakened. They beat Brentford last week. But before that they hadn't won a game in the league for a very long time. I think Arsenal will beat their weak opponent today. And I think Arsenal will get closer to the top of the league again.
Arsenal is expected to win this game. Crystal palace has been struggling to win games this season and currently they have most of their players playing in the Afcon and Arsenal will utilize this opportunity and inflict more misery on them. If Arsenal fail to win this game then they should be ready to lose their top 4 position.

In this match, Arsenal is trying not to lose any more points because 3 points tonight against Crystal Palace are very important to improve their position in the standings. Arsenal is at number 4 and at number 3 is occupied by Aston Villa. Winning against Crystal Palace will put Arsenal back in 3rd place.If they remain in 4th position because Aston Villa's goal tally is greater than Arsenal's, at least the chance of getting back on track to compete for the Premier League championship is starting to be strong again.
After the match against Crystal Palace, Arsenal will face Nottingham Forest, which is categorized as a weak team. That's why this is a golden opportunity for the Gunners to secure full points in these two matches before facing Liverpool.

Yes, Arsenal's performance has not been good recently. In the last three matches, Arsenal have always lost. Arsenal lost against West Ham and lost against Fulham. then lost again to Liverpool in the FA Cup. In the EPL, Arsenal have only won once in their last 5 matches. This poor performance left Arsenal in 4th place.Therefore, in the match against Crystal Palace they must get 3 points so they can immediately return to the right trend. In my opinion, Crystal Palace will use a bus parking strategy to try to frustrate Arsenal so they take advantage of the counter attack. Because this way they have the hope of beating Arsenal. However, my prediction is that Arsenal will win this match with a score of 2-0, because I believe Arsenal can dismantle Palace's defense so they can score two goals.

Hojlund's transfer fee is high because he is still young and also Hojlund has quite good potential so that in the future he will become a good striker in Gadang Gadang so the price is high, I think that is reasonable.
However, at his young age, it is very unfair to set expectations that are too high, especially compared to Haaland, it is not feasible.
With Hojlund's quality individually I believe he will improve even more in the future but back to the team and his teammates too, if he gets a lot of support.

I agree with what you said. Hojlund is a good player even though his quality cannot be compared to Haaland. But he is a pretty good forward who will be a star player in the future. Having a fantastic transfer value will be a topic of conversation in all circles because the price is expensive, of course there will be high expectations. But I applaud Hojlund's hard work on the field. As you said he is still very young and with the support of the coach and teammates he will be able to develop even more in the future.
Arteta has been preparing another surprise for us and as you can see that arsenal has been targeting an old guy like benzema. Arsenal has been trying to open the talk to get him as a loan from saudi pro legue club. Im thinking benzema was not the rigth choice for arsenal but this guy was not that bad compared to the other expensive striker. Arsenal will take him as a loan only from saudi pro league club. People were also getting shocked to see that how arsenal was opening talk to get benzema from ittihad as a loan.
Im seeing it as a setback for arsenal caused by benzema has a very big salary but he will come as a loan from ittihad which is good enough. The final decision will be on ittihad caused by the clon was owning the contract with benzema.
Arsenal will try so hard to approach him from ittihad. Some feel this was a bad decision from arteta but the rest was not feeling it as a bad decision. I hope that arsenal and benzema will come to the agreement between both of parties.
Well impressive especially when you consider that they need a striker dearly and Benzema yes he’s quite old but he’s got the experience. Arteta must really understand that his team aren’t productive upfront and that reason, he needs a striker.
Now the financial part is that they could get under FFP if they’re not careful because Benzema is a big name and he’s receiving huge amount while at Saudi. But I believe the board will be able to check on the situation and know a way out. Benzema in this Arsenal squad, well I’m seeing a little improvement but not enough to match Manchester City and Liverpool though, they'll still need more suitable backup that would match City or liverpool's squad depth.
Arsenal are ready to accommodate and Arsenal don't need Benzema have become headlines simultaneously.
Not to mention seeing several other clubs such as Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea who are other news at this time.
I think in this case we are looking too much at Benzema name but not thinking about his age and current performance.
He is indeed one of the striker who may still be able to make a contribution but seeing what Benzema did in the SPL we must have known there was a mistake in the performance Benzema showed so i think this should be another consideration because its not just about the big boy but sometimes in the EPL it is more difficult than imagined.

Benzema on loAn to Arsenal is what’s best for them at least to help them regain confidence this 2nd half of the season. He’s quite of age currently and might not be able to perform at top level but at least him leading the attack can be the difference they needed.Well this isn’t a setback as this isn’t a permanent transfer. This move will even help the other players and spur up motivation and win level of the team and I’m sure Arteta knows what he’s doing with this transfer, as we know Benzema is an experienced player, though he's not really had a very good time at the Saudi side, but I believe with the right players and right coach by him side to encourage him, he'll do better and also aid them upfront in times when experience is needed, mostly in the Champions League. I’ll love to see how Arsenal will fair and I believe there’ll be tremendous growth in the general team when Benzema arrives.
You right because with as is Karim Benzema he can definitely help other players and can provide motivation to other players thanks to his experience so far, and yes he is not performing very well in the Saudi league because it requires quite a bit of adaptation time because Benzema has spent most of his time in the European league while in the Saudi league and the European league they are at different levels of play.

What do you think? Can Arteta get any signings this month transfer windows?
Arteta has been expected to be given a really good sum of money to spend in January. However I still haven't heard any update on this.
He is still waiting because of that seemingly. Otherwise he was already keen on making needed kind of additions to his squad. When it comes to your question I still expect to see at least one signing before the end of the transfer window.And this transfer could be a point transfer. I mean he would make this transfer for the most needed position right now. That position could be centre-forward. But if the transfer budget situation still stays ambiguous then Arsenal would have to finish the second part with the same squad.
Yes, I have also heard this rumor but I don't know, in my opinion borrowing Benzema from Ittihad is not a bad thing rather than having to buy him at a very expensive price. Currently Arsenal really needs a productive striker and Benzema is a good choice even though Benzema is old and maybe His stamina is different but his performance is still good during the season. He has provided 11 goals and 5 assists so far in 17 matches so he is no worse than the striker that Arsenal currently has.
In my opinion, this is not a setback, Mikel Arteta has definitely thought about this carefully, so they are just borrowing him, maybe only until this season ends so that Arsenal doesn't suffer big losses even though they have to pay Benzema very expensively, and hopefully if the rumors This is really happening. I would be very happy to see Benzema return to the European league and compete in the big league again, even if not at Real Madrid.

Truthfully, the names I wanted for Arsenal all have failed and won't be joining. They're Karim Benzema, Serhou Guirassy and Lastly Ivan Toney who Brentford has decided to cage and blocked from joining any club by giving him the Captain arm band for the game they'll be playing against Nothingham Forest tommorow.
Despite Karim Benzema's age he'll be a good player for Arsenal all you have to do it get a player like Vinicius Junior on the wings to create chances and pass him the ball. This is something he is good at and will deliver Arsenal. Right now, it's far from happening as he had also arrested whoever raised the misinformation over him wanting to leave the club.

I also think the same about Hojlund with people who say he is not good enough yet because of being very young and playing in a new environment. At the same time this environment is a much more competitive one than where he came from. In the Serie A he was struggling to adapt and here it is pretty much the same - in the Premier League at least.
However I must admit that he was really great in the Champions League. He is still one of top scorers in the tournament you know despite his team's being eliminated in the group stage. Moreover he started to adapt to the Premier League recently as well considering his last performances. I hope he goes on like this.

Those who bash him are not good viewers of football honestly. They fail to understand that four of the five goals Rasmus Hojlund converted or scored all came from his own individual performance anf hardwork.
Manchester United wingers and attacking midfielder's have indeed created fewer chances for him to score goals. It's okay for people to talk about it because he was brought in for a huge fee.
Although I doubt he'll score up to ten league goal in the Premier League Competition this exact season for Manchester United. He's not a bad player, he tracks back and also defends when mandatory. He's gonna make history with the club!
Hojlund is at least trying to be better in the Premier League as well which is what I like in him. He doesn't just take a stroll on the pitch in the matches he play.
When it comes to the fee amount he was transferred for it is the truth that it is a big one. He was transferred for 74 million euros according to Transfermarkt. But the board must be also aware of the fact that they need to be patient about him. He is only 20 years old now. Comparing him to Haaland wouldn't be fair as there aren't many examples like Haaland in today's football.
But in the long run I believe that Hojlund will also be a solid scorer.Manchester United's acquisition of Hoylund is overrated, as the young player's potential remains unproven, where he scored just nine goals in play napoli one seasson. Prior to this, he played for lesser-known and less popular clubs. His productivity as a striker in Manchester United's Premier League team is also minimal, lacking the necessary potency. Instead of purchasing Hoylund, they should consider Harry Kane, whose price is not significantly different.
Hojlund and Haaland comparison is also very unreasonable because they have different careers from different backgrounds and play different style of attack even if they are both attackers.
Haaland is more established and can take on a defense singly as part of his MO.
Benzema to Arsenal on loan would help boost the attack line but I don't know how much Benzema might contribute seeing he is new to English football and might require some adjustment period.
Also, could this not be a ploy for Benzema to follow in Arteta's coaching footstep, after playing for same club, he might end up just being the coach after a season.
The remaining matches of Round 21 are going to be played at the weekend. I will be watching the Arsenal v Crystal Palace match especially. Because as you have seen there is a significant level of decrease in their performance level recently. Arsenal won only once in the past 5 league matches and lost 3 of them. This is just horrible for a team competing for the championship. 
Crystal Palace aren't a big threat to Arsenal on paper. But Arteta still needs to prepare his players very well for this match in Emirates. They can't underestimate their opponent even a bit. I will bet on Arsenal to win and hopefully they can put an end to this bad series.

But in the long run I believe that Hojlund will also be a solid scorer.I won't even do that, Why compare Erling Haaland and Rasmus Hojlund? Good God! I won't join the discussion as I consider it disrespect to Erling Haaland.
He was already well developed as a Salzburg player and then Moving to Borrussia Dortmund brought him good consistency and upgrades with the assistance he had from his old mates like Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus.
For Rasmus Hojlund, he need some time, maybe henhaas the experience already this season he'll do better next then. Of they feel like they want a backup player for that role, they shouldn't bother spending too much money and ensure the return of Mason Greenwood happens immediately.

If you look at the records on transfmarkt, I think Hojlund's transfer value is very expensive, but if he continues to work hard on the pitch, I think he can become a solid striker in the next few seasons. I hope he is really consistent and willing to work hard on the field. And hopefully he will be given lots of playing time to improve his skills.
