Over the last few days, we’ve been reviewing the season so far for five of Crystal Palace’s most influential players, explaining their role in the last 29 matches and what to expect from them in the upcoming nine. Finishing up, Palace's driving force: James McArthur.
"I just go in and try to help the team by playing in any position," James McArthur told the Palace programme in 2018. "I’ll do it to the best of my ability."
McArthur's understated role in Palace's midfield has been apparent since his arrival in 2014. The Scotsman has been a consistent performer in his five-and-a-half years in SE25, and has come to earn acclaim as a result.
