Match preview for Arsenal v Crystal Palace
Arsenal’s win at Ipswich on Sunday ensured that the nominal title race goes on, and a win against Palace on Wednesday night would close the gap to champions elect Liverpool to 10 points.
Mikel Arteta’s side look well set, having lost just three of their last 36 home games in the Premier League, while Palace have lost their last two visits to the Emirates by an aggregate score of 9-1.
The Eagles were held to a goalless draw with 10 men by Bournemouth at the weekend and Oliver Glasner’s side warm up for an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa next weekend.
