Arsenal is ready for another Emirates showcase this weekend as the Gunners take on Crystal Palace.
After that emphatic 4-0 thrashing of Ipswich, Mikel Arteta's side look like they're back in rhythm. Champions League football is locked in, but with pride and sharpness still on the line, Arsenal will want to finish strong even if the title's gone to Liverpool.
Palace, on the other hand, arrive looking toothless. They just got battered 5-0 by Newcastle and followed it up with a snooze-fest against Bournemouth. Sitting 12th, safe but unspectacular, they don't even give underdog feels who can shock the Gunners.
Their last trip to face Arsenal didn't go well either, and with their record at the Emirates shaky at best, it's tough to see them causing a stir here. All signs point to Arsenal doing the double over them this season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace predicted lineups, team news
Bukayo Saka took a heavy knock in the last match but looks set to recover in time, although Mikel Arteta may opt for rotation with Champions League duties looming. Ethan Nwaneri and Miles Lewis-Skelly are both pushing for recalls, while Partey and Timber are expected to slot back in to reinforce the spine of the side. Arteta is likely to revert to a more familiar setup ahead of the PSG clash.
Injuries continue to pile up, with Jorginho, Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Tomiyasu all sidelined. Calafiori could return next week, but won’t feature here. Despite the absentees, Arsenal's squad depth should see them through comfortably at home.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly — Odegaard, Partey, Rice — Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard.
Injured: Jorginho, Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhaes, Tomiyasu, Calafiori
Suspended: None
Palace are down to the bare bones defensively after Chris Richards’s red card at the weekend. Glasner is expected to shuffle the deck with Clyne potentially stepping into the back three. Jefferson Lerma could fill in deeper but is also an option in midfield, especially with Wharton still being eased back from his own injury issues.
Palace's injury list remains long-term but stable. Riad and Doucoure are both out for the season with knee problems. No fresh setbacks from the weekend offer some relief, but with depth thin and confidence shaky, it’s a tough task ahead at the Emirates.
Crystal Palace predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Henderson (GK) — Clyne, Lacroix, Guehi — Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Mitchell — Eze, Sarr — Mateta.
Injured: Riad, Doucoure
Suspended: Richards
