Reiss Nelson, Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga - five men who previously had a part to play at Arsenal, all absent from the squad to face Man United at the weekend.

The 27-year-old midfielder has been tipped to leave Selhurst Park all summer. Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs most widely credited with interest in Eze, who is thought to be open to a move on the north side of the River Thames.

A little-known rule proved to be Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze's undoing on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. His free-kick was ruled out because a Palace player was standing too close to the Chelsea wall.

Delaney was one of the journalists who suggested that Eze might not start Palace’s first match this past weekend over concern about his transfer, only for him to then start anyway (and score a banger of a free kick that was called back by a controversial VAR decision).
