Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates as they look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League this afternoon.
Surprise defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea were a welcome boost for Mikel Arteta on Saturday, whose side are on a six-game winning run.
It will be an emotional match for Eberechi Eze who plays against his former side for the first time, but there is concern that star defender Gabriel Magalhaes may miss out through injury.
Like Arsenal, Palace have lost just one league game but travel to north London off the back of an embarrassing defeat to Cypriot side AEK Larnaca in the Conference League.
After drawing this fixture last season, victory today would be a massive statement for the Gunners, but defeat would allow Manchester City to take the lead of the title race if they beat Aston Villa.
