Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Mikel Arteta knows a win will send his side eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Palace make the short trip across the capital on the back of 12 games without a win and without Patrick Vieira. The ex-Arsenal captain was sacked following Wednesday's defeat to Brighton with Paddy McCarthy in charge for the weekend.
The fixture presents Arsenal with the chance to respond to their Europa League exit on Thursday and take another huge step towards a first league title in nearly 20 years. However, despite being the only Premier League fixture on the day, the contest will not be televised in England.
