Arsenal are aiming to bounce back from Europa League heartache by extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points with a win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Gunners were dumped out of European competion by Sporting on Thursday night, having been forced to go the distance in regards to extra-time and a penalty shoot-out. As a result, there are fears Mikel Arteta's men could be showing some signs of fatigue when they welcome the Eagles to the Emirates.
For much of the season so far it has been Arsenal who have had a game in hand over title rivals Manchester City, but come full-time against Palace it will be the Gunners who have played a game more than Pep Guardiola's side. Therefore, the hosts can't afford any slip-ups.
