Premier League leaders Arsenal are being held to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace in today's early kickoff.
Despite not seeing as much of the ball as their opponents, the hosts have held their own and created chances.
The away side dominated possession in the opening stages but lost Mathieu Flamini to injury after just seven minutes.
That didn't stop them dominating though, and Arsenal could have gone ahead after 18 minutes when Mesut Ozil found space in the box and squared the ball towards Olivier Giroud, but an interception from Daniel Gabbidon removed the danger.
Palace improved after that and created several good chances in a five-minute spell midway through the half.
Wojciech Szczesny denied Marouane Chamakh and Adlene Guedioura in quick succession before Barry Bannan curled his shot just wide.
Santi Cazorla came close to giving Arsenal the lead as the game moved towards half time, working some space in the box before firing the ball narrowly wide.
