Arsenal are also on an excellent run of form, winning six out of their last seven matches to put them on course for a top-four finish. The Gunners have only lost to Liverpool over the last two months in the Premier League, but were dislodged from fourth spot by their bitter rivals Tottenham following their 5-1 hammering of Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta and his team have to respond to put the pressure back on Spurs, using their new found clinical edge in front of goal that was decisive in ther 1-0 win over Aston Villa last time out.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Patrick Vieira faces the club that he won three Premier League titles with during an illustrious career with Arsenal. The former Gunners skipper will now attempt to diminish his ex-club's hopes of reaching the top four of the Premier League with his Palace side, who have been in excellent form of late. The Eagles are unbeaten in their last six matches in all competitions, including their 4-0 hammering of Everton last time out in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. A win tonight would push Palace into ninth place in the table.
