Crystal Palace host Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday as Mikel Arteta's side continue to make a late push for a top-seven finish.
The Gunners are currently ninth in the table, with a win on Wednesday potentially taking them to within one point of the top six. Arsenal have been in good form of late and are currently on a four-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Although unlikely, Arteta will hope his side can win the final two games of the campaign to give them the best opportunity to qualify for European football next season.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have been in terrible form, winning only three of their last 10 league games.
Roy Hodgson's side are currently 13th in the league, one point off Wolves in 12th position. The Eagles have nothing left to play for this season, but will hope to finish their league campaign on a high.
Arsenal cannot afford to drop points when they travel to Crystal Palace on Wednesday if they want to stand a chance of qualifying for European football next season.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Head-to-Head
Surprisingly, Crystal Palace have had the better of the recent head-to-head record between the two sides. Palace have secured one win from their previous five league meetings against Arsenal, with the other four games ending in stalemates.
The two sides played out a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
