Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
 (on Crystal Palace)

"They are recovering very well. They are stable defensively, they don't concede goals, they have a very efficient game and recently they have consistent results, so it is for us and for them of course, a very important game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach:
 (on how Crystal Palace coach Tony Pulis has turned their season around)

"He has done a marvellous job and I must honestly say that when he took that job I was thinking 'My friend, you take an impossible job there'. But he has turned it round and he deserves a lot of credit for that."
