2022-23 Premier League Matchweek 1: Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal August 4, 2022 by Marc Jerbs

On Friday, the 2022-23 Premier League officially begins with its opening fixture between Crystal Palace and Arsenal.

Kick-off is set 8:00PM BST at the Selhurst Park in London, England.

It is the second straight season that Arsenal are on the road to begin their Premier League campaign.

Last season, they were beaten by Brentford and Crystal Palace has given them enough trouble during their past matchup.

Crystal Palace manager and former Arsenal player Patrick Vieira will try to lead his team to add further misery to his former club.

Arsenal is now a different club from last season.

Their fans are hopeful that they will contend and challenge more in the top half of the Premier League table.

However, they are having a difficult time when they face Crystal Palace.

They want to start the season strong and beating Crystal Palace on the road is a big confidence booster.

The sportsbook handicappers have installed Arsenal as the favorites to win over Crystal Palace on Friday's opening season fixture of the Premier League.
