Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is excited about the team he takes to former club Arsenal on Monday night.
Vieira returns to Arsenal for the first time as a manager nearly six years after beginning his senior managerial career at MLS side New York City.
The 45-year-old has also managed at Nice in France’s Ligue 1.
“Going back from my Manchester City time (as Elite Development Squad manager) and where I am today it has been up and down,” Vieira said. “But overall I am really pleased about the journey I’ve had so far.
“What I really wanted was to come back to the Premier League to manage and I’m really lucky to be in a good football club.
“There is the foundation to express myself as a manager and I want to grow with the football club.
“This football club is really ambitious, as I am as a manager, and both of us can achieve good things here.
“The club want to be bigger and challenge for bigger things, and we are in a process of developing something quite interesting.”
