Arsenal have completed their preparations for Sunday afternoon's London derby at home to Crystal Palace.
The Gunners welcome an Eagles side - who recently parted company with Patrick Vieira as first-team manager - to the Emirates Stadium in the hope of bouncing back from being eliminated from the Europa League at the round of 16 stage by Sporting CP on penalties.
Should the north London outfit complete a league double over Palace - having triumphed 2-0 in the reverse meeting in the opening game of the season - they will be eight points clear at the top of the table heading into the international break as Manchester City have FA Cup commitments this evening.
