Core stories and (new) star players

First of all, this season will mark a decade in the Premier League for Crystal Palace – an incredible run for any team that has been promoted, but certainly even more so for a club that had spent just four of the previous 21 seasons in the top flight after The PL began in 1992. Throw in the fact that the club was entering a period of great transition, and Vieira’s job was anything but simple from the start. In the end, the Eagles were one of only eight teams in the PL with a positive goal difference at the end of the season, scoring nine more than the previous season and conceding 20 fewer. All the while, Vieira entrusted important first-team roles to Conor Gallagher (returned to Chelsea after loan), Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell and Michael Olise. Mikel Arteta has made the most of his own rising stars, a core of young talent he hopes can take another giant step forward this season. All six of Arsenal’s top scorers started last season aged 23 or over, with Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Magalhaes combining for 44 goals and 20 assists. Now, with Gabriel Jesus leading the line at centre-forward, hopes have turned to expectations in north London. The time for Arteta to deliver is now, because there are no more excuses left.
