Picture the scene. Gerry Francis drifts over a corner, Pat Jennings punches clear but only as far as Peter Nicholas just outside the box. The Welshman’s volley is scuffed, but Dave Swindlehurst’s flick takes the ball scuttling beyond static defenders and into the net. Terry Venables’ side withstand second-half pressure and the majority of a crowd of 42,699 departs elated. It is 10 November 1979 and Crystal Palace have achieved what remains their only home victory over Arsenal. Arsène Wenger could not have picked a better venue to seek to build on his team’s midweek win. Dominic Fifield
