Crystal Palace will attempt to halt the Arsenal juggernaut at the Emirates this afternoon.
The Eagles will come up against a team that has won their last six games in all competitions and looked in ominous form in thrashing Atletico Madrid 4-0 in midweek.

Palace continue to evolve under Oliver Glasner even though their momentum was checked by Thursday night’s shock Conference League defeat at home to AEK Larnaca.
