On Thursday, Arsenal took an early lead against Sporting in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie, thanks to Granit Xhaka’s 19th-minute effort, before Pedro Goncalves’ 46 yard-wonder-strike in the 62nd-minute forced the game into extra-time and a penalty shootout in which Gabriel Martinelli fluffed his lines from 12 yards. The Portuguese outfit prevailed 5-3 in the tiebreaker, ending Arsenal’s European hopes this season. Meanwhile, last Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s side defeated Fulham 3-0, courtesy of first-half efforts from Gabriel Magalhaes, Martinelli and Martin Odegaard, to record their fifth consecutive Premier League-win and 21st top tier victory of the season. A win on Sunday will extend the lead at the top to eight points as second-placed Manchester City compete in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are winless in their last 12 games. The poor run of form has lead to the sacking to manager Patrick Vieira, along with coaches Osian Roberts, Kristian Wilson and Said Aigoun. Therefore Under-21s coach Paddy McCarthy will manage team for time being at Emirates. On Wednesday, the Eagles lost to Brighton at Falmer Stadium, courtesy of Solly March’s lone goal in the first-half. It was their third consecutive defeat. Crystal Palace’s last triumph came against Bournemouth on New Years eve. On a positive note, the Eagles’ last two visits to Emirates Stadium have ended in a draws.
Arsenal Probable Lineup: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Odegaard, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
Crystal Palace Probable Lineup: Whitworth, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Hughes, Doucoure, Schlupp, Olise, Edouard, Zaha
