Arsenal vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Emirates Stadium
Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Oliver Glasner has also made changes involving some of his key players with one eye on their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa, as Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta drop to the bench. Eddie Nketiah comes in to start against his former side, having failed to make much of an impact since Palace spent £25million to sign him from Arsenal last summer.

Arsenal’s starting XI is rotated from their comfortable win at Portman Road, with Bukayo Saka moving to the bench as both Ben White and Mikel Merino drop out of the squad entirely, and Raheem Sterling brought in for a rare start under Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Palace sit in their perennial home of 12th with five games still to play this season, but still aren’t completely out of the equation when it comes to the potential 11-team race for European spots next season. Oliver Glasner’s side had been on a five-game unbeaten run heading into this month, including four wins, but their last three games have included 5-2 and 5-0 thrashings by Manchester City and Newcastle respectively, before a 0-0 draw with Bournemouth last time out.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Mikel Arteta’s side come into this game knowing that if they lose to Palace, the Premier League title will be Liverpool’s, and realistically need to claim all three points if they’re to have any hope whatsoever of reeling in the runaway leaders, who have a 13-point lead at the top with just five games left to play. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last seven league matches, and while four of those have been draws, they did thump Ipswich 4-0 last time out.
