Arsenal will have enjoyed watching Manchester United drop points in the Premier League this weekend. But now it is time for the Gunners to do their job in the race for a top-four spot.
Tottenham Hotspur moved level on points with their north London rivals on Sunday with a win over Newcastle United, although Mikel Arteta and his team can take comfort from the two games in hand they still have.
One of those comes on Monday and a tricky assignment awaits against their former player Patrick Vieira, who is now in charge of a vibrant Crystal Palace outfit. Victory for Arsenal south of the river would feel like a big step towards securing Champions League football for next season.
Can Arsenal catch Chelsea in third place in the remaining weeks of the season? Let us know in the comments section below!
Injury boost for key Palace clash
Arsenal may be able to call on their starting goalkeeper for the crunch clash in south London on Monday, with Aaron Ramsdale back in full training ahead of the game.
The England international missed the trip to Aston Villa before the international break - Bernd Leno was drafted in and kept a clean sheet - and also withdrew from Three Lions contention.
Speaking ahead of the game, Arteta provided an update on the condition of Ramsdale and said he's hopeful he'll be ready for Palace.
"Aaron is a doubt," said the Arsenal boss. "He's still feeling not great. He hasn’t trained yet so we don’t know what he will be able to do on Monday."
