Arsenal are gearing up for what could be a defining match-week in the race for the Premier League title as they welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates.
The Gunners know that a win against the Eagles would put them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, with Manchester City not back in league action until April 1 when they face Liverpool at the Etihad. However, there are fears Arsenal could be nursing a Europa League hangover following their elimination from the competition on Thursday night.
Mikel Arteta's side were beaten on penalties by Portuguese giants Sporting on home soil, with the in-form Gabriel Martinelli the unfortunate, yet guilty party who saw his spot-kick saved.
