Match Preview
- Leaders Arsenal (82 points) play their final game away at 15th-placed Crystal Palace (45 points). Arsenal hold an 8-point lead over 2nd-placed Manchester City (74 points, two games left), so even if they lose this match the title is theirs unless City win both of their remaining two games. Palace are winless in their last five with 3 draws and 2 losses.
- In this season's Matchday 9 meeting at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal won 1-0. Arsenal have 4 wins and 1 loss in their last five, and have notably strung together wins without conceding in their last four games, with their defensive solidity standing out. Palace aim to finish above 16th-placed Nottingham Forest (43 points) with a win this round.
- Japan international Daichi Kamada (29) starts at left wing-back for Crystal Palace. The technically gifted midfielder, who "won the UEFA Europa League with Frankfurt" and whose strengths are "providing creativity as an attacking or inside midfielder, with decisive through balls and runs into the box," looks to deny Arsenal a trophy to follow the 2025 FA Cup win.
- Jorgen Strand Larsen (26), entrusted with leading Palace's line, is a Norway striker who joined from Wolverhampton for a club-record 48 million pounds. With "aerial strength using his 193cm frame and hold-up play" as his weapons, the new ace, who contributed to a win on his debut against Brighton, looks to show his pride as his former club Wolves appear set for relegation.
- Arsenal field young midfielders Myles Lewis-Skelly (18) and Max Dowman (20). German playmaker Dowman in particular is a Bayern Munich academy product whose strength is creativity-rich passing play. With the title virtually secured, the youngsters who will shape the future gain experience at Selhurst Park.
- Arsenal start Gabriel Jesus (29) up front. The Brazil forward, whose "appeal is the high tactical understanding honed at Manchester City," builds defence from the front with diligent pressing and varied positioning. Having made a full recovery from a serious knee injury, he enters the final touches toward the title.
