After playing a thrilling yet disappointing 3-3 draw away to West Ham last Saturday, Arsenal return to English Premier League action with a home clash with Crystal Palace.
The Gunners will lock horns with yet another London side, as Wenger’s boys will be hoping for a strong finish in their last 6 games of the season.
The north London giants trail Tottenham by six points, and leaders Leicester by 13, but have a game in hand. Nonetheless, Arsenal will need a win on Sunday to keep up pace with 2nd and 1st.
Team news – who’s fit and who’s not?
There are no fresh injury worries in the Arsenal camp, with familiar names Santi Cazorla (knee), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee), Tomas Rosicky and Jack Wilshere (leg) still on the sidelines.
Veteran goalie Petr Cech has fully recovered from his calf injury, but Wenger refuses to reveal whether the Czech custodian will replace Ospina in between the sticks.
The Eagles will be without Dwight Gayle (gluteal), whilst Zaha is a doubt for Sunday’s London derby.
Head to head
Wenger’s boys will go in search of their 500th win in the English Premier League when they host Alan Pardew’s crew, with the Gunners second best to only Man United and their tally of 582 victories.
Despite their slip last week, Arsenal may be confident of grabbing the win, boasting good numbers against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners have 10 and lost only once in their last 14 clashes with the Eagles, including a perfect record in their last six meetings.
Furthermore, the Selhurst Park club have picked up the least points from London derbies this season at 4.
