At 29 years old the midfielder is a massive asset to what Palace are trying to achieve in the Premier League, and he will no doubt be a problem again this weekend.

After signing from a successful loan spell in 2013, Puncheon has picked up 10 goals from 52 appearances, and he always manages to get them in some of the big games.

He can play on the left or the right-wing as well, and his ability to cut inside and get a shot away is something that sets him aside from Palace’s other attacking outlets.

And if Wenger decides to use Mathieu Debuchy again this Sunday, it could spell serious trouble for the Gunners, after the Frenchman had a shocking show against West Ham.

Puncheon played the full 90 minutes of last weeks 3-1 victory, and managed to add another assist to his ever-growing statistics.

If Arsenal decide to play a high line, they will get punished, and a lot of Palace’s attacking pressure will most likely come from set pieces.

They have the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Glenn Murray who can work in and around the box, and Puncheon will be sat on the edge waiting for the ball to drop into his touch.

He’s quick, he’s got a lethal shot and he isn’t afraid to take people on.
