Arsenal will hope to embark on a new winning run now, having returned to winning ways against Aston Villa prior to the international break - and especially with rivals Tottenham having taken fourth place over the weekend.
The Gunners won five on the spin before defeat to Liverpool in mid-March, which really boosted their Champions League ambitions as others faltered and failed to find consistency.
Even a point will take Arsenal back into fourth on Monday night - but standing in their way are Crystal Palace, another of the Premier League’s in-form sides, who themselves can go ninth with victory.
Palace have lost just once in the last 10 in all competitions and, as well as improving in the league, are through to the FA Cup semi-finals under their new boss, former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira.
