Four games to go so what are our chances of finishing in the top four
There are four teams fighting for two Champions League qualification spots, Tottenham, Chelsea, Man Utd and us and now is as good as any time to play the who will finish top-four prediction game.
There are a few shocks to the Arsenal teamsheet for today’s home tie with Crystal Palace, with a chance to go back into third in the Premier League table.
My eyes hurt at the site of seeing Shkodran Mustafi back in the side today, along with Carl Jenkinson and Mohamed Elneny, but you accept that changes had to be made after playing on Thursday.
A win today and Arsenal will go back to third in the Premier League and more than that, we will have our top-three destiny back in our own hands.
A draw would keep us behind Tottenham on goal difference and so it is of the highest importance that we collect all three points today at the Emirates.
Ahead of Crystal Palace’s visit to the Emirates this afternoon, our usual View From The Enemy slot comes direct from the Eagles official website and is full of interesting facts. Despite our amazing form at home, it would appear that Palace are quietly confident that they are not there just to make up the numbers….
Arsenal face another must-win game today in the race for the Top Four, but it is never easy to play against Crystal Palace, and we know they have produced some great performances away from Selhurst Park this season.
There are definitely going to be a few changes to the team that faced Napoli on Thursday night when we go up against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
For starters, there will be no Aaron Ramsey or Sokratis due to injury and suspension.
When you are a top club coming to the end of a season it is not unusual to find yourselves in multiple competitions all squeezed into an ever decreasing time frame and that certainly applies to Arsenal right now.
It would be totally wrong to assume that it is three points in the bag for Arsenal just because we are at home against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and I will give you one date why that is a fact; 22nd December 2018. That was the day that Palace went to the Etihad and beat Manchester City 3-2.
