(Pre-emptive link)
Thomas Partey was still at right back for this game, but he started the game in the center of the field. It seems that Arteta intends to make the main formation this season with this style of play, which is actually three defenders but Thomas Partey has to do the duties of the right back. Crystal Palace's leading scorer Zaha has left the team, but they are still going to take the tougher route.

The referee came up and issued another yellow card, and Kenyo Tomiyasu was sent off with two yellow cards in just eight minutes, which turned into a red card.
In fact, Fu An's two cards were not serious, the first time the ball was thrown out of bounds because there was no one to pass it to so it was never thrown out, and the second time Fu An did slightly pull Édouard but he then let go of his hand so Édouard didn't have a heavy fall, but the referee's two consecutive yellow cards were considered quite heavy
