Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta says today's trip to Arsenal is about character.
Palace go into the game 48 hours after the sacking of manager Patrick Vieira.
Speaking ahead of the match, the French forward told Premier League productions: It's always hard to lose to a rival [on Wednesday, against Brighton].
Even though we had a couple of chances to draw, it's always hard. We have to come back and show our character to win games.
Arsenal are a good team. This season they're doing really well but we have to show our character there, stay positive, and we'll see.
We need to stay strong, stay compact, and when we have chances, take them."
