Palace held leaders Manchester City to a 0-0 draw before the break, allowing Liverpool to close the gap at the top, and the Eagles then followed that performance with an equally impressive 4-0 demolition of Everton in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Arsenal won four of their last five league games prior to the international break, with their only defeat coming against Liverpool. Bukayo Saka has been in terrific form but was forced to pull out of the England squad after contracting Covid. The winger has since returned to training and has been deemed fit to start. Arsenal are currently in fifth, level on points with Tottenham, but still boast two games in hand meaning the final Champions League spot remains theirs to lose as we enter the latter stages of the season.

Palace have only picked up one win in their last nine league outings against the Gunners. Bukayo Saka has been incredible throughout the season and deservedly won plenty of plaudits for the teenager's displays. With 10 games to go, the Gunners are level on points with their North London neighbours but have two games-in-hand over Spurs including tonight's match against Patrick Vieira's side. Arsenal have gone three consecutive matches with two or fewer goals. No on both teams to score is 10/11.

Mikel Arteta must decide on who his first choice right-back will be between Cedric Soares and the returning Takehiro Tomiyasu.

What's important is that me and Tomiyasu have a natural, positive relationship and we both want to help the team in every moment. Nonetheless he insists that despite the rivalry for a starting spot that they’re on good terms. “He was fit in the last one or two weeks but the coach kept me on the team.

But what happens to the extra minutes played at the end of the first half? “It’s mindless, thuggish behaviour and it has no place in any civilised society,” added the Scottish first minister. While the outcome of tonight’s game looks tough to call, your neutral Fiver is looking forward to a spicy and feisty affair. “When a match gets to 90 minutes and there’s five additional minutes, we all say the game was 95 minutes long. And make sure that everyone is fine and look forward to the challenge that we have ahead.” This is the part of the game we wanted to improve, being aggressive. People might think: ‘What are you talking about?’ But to come back from where I was at, in a dark place, makes it special” – Phil Jones talks to Donald McRae about playing for Manchester United again, and coping with injuries and online abuse. With their own occasionally brooding former Gunners midfielder in charge and no shortage of talented young whippersnappers among their ranks, Crystal Palace resemble a kind of Gooners-Lite. Comfortably ensconced in mid-table, they could actually be a lot higher were it not for their pre-Christmas predilection for failing to get the results their often excellent performances deserved. It’s part of the DNA of Crystal Palace.” They went on to provoke much tittering among the punditocracy with defeats in their next two games, leaving them with a UK-at-Eurovision-esque “nul points” going into the season’s first international break. And where once that process might have seemed a mite indefinable, it turns out it involved nothing more complicated than getting a few well coached old pros and lots of exciting young tyros to gad about in a specific way.

Wilfried Zaha won the penalty and then scored from the spot to seal the win for Crystal Palace! What a performance and what a night for Crystal Palace! The stadium is bouncing! Eddie Nketiah is on for Cedric in yet another attacking change for Arsenal. They've got six attacking players on the pitch to try and salvage something from this game. The best chance of the game for Arsenal so far and they failed to take advantage. He's on for Nuno Tavares who struggled in the first half. Is this the worst performance from Arsenal since their cup defeat to Nottingham Forest? Certainly the worst Arsenal have played since Forest. Worst in the league since Everton. Wilfried Zaha is brought down by Martin Odegaard in the box and after some hesitation, Paul Tierney points to the spot! As for Arsenal, they take a big hit to their top-four hopes as they miss out on the opportunity to climb back above Spurs and into the Champions League spots. Martin Odegaard finds the ball at his feet inside the box but he scuffs his finish and puts the ball wide. Then we accept it, look ourselves in the mirror and look to the next game. "The players were tired but the big difference is the atmosphere and the fans behind the players." First of all, we need to put our hands up and get the criticism we deserve.

The Gunners should have an edge on set pieces this evening and that could prove the difference in the final scoreline. The Gunners have won 6 of 7 in the Premier League and their last 5 away matches. On the other hand, they have just 2 wins from their last 10 in the Premier League. Regardless of how you slice it, they’re a solid team that certainly won’t roll over for the Gunners. The Gunners have two games in hand over Tottenham but have little room for error with a North London Derby remaining on the schedule. Palace are riding a 10-match unbeaten streak and have kept clean sheets in their last three. Arsenal travel to south London to take on Crystal Palace this evening having temporarily fallen out of fourth in the table on goals scored.

Mikel Arteta's side were distinctly second best and the disastrous manner of their defeat will have been celebrated as much in Tottenham as it was in ...

you have to win duels and second balls and be aggressive and we were none of those and top of that we were really poor on the ball. The game was up for Arsenal but a combination of dogged Palace defending and misfortune denied them a late consolation. They’d have took that from the six games away from home. It is time to accept the criticism, put your hand up and apologise because this performance was not good enough for this club and then react.” There was a split-second when Selhurst held its collective breath as the Ghanaian advanced but the striker renowned for his lack of goals finished with impressive assuredness. It was a stunning night for him, less so for Arteta. With Antonio Conte’s Tottenham gathering momentum, Arsenal can ill-afford any more performances like this. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsdale’s pinpoint kicking was a yard off, Ben White was transported back to that unhappy August debut in Brentford and the newly-prolific Thomas Partey was back to air-kicking speculative shots. The only surprise when Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring was that it had not come sooner than the 14th minute. Odegaard made a cleaner connection with his next significant moment of the match. Crystal Palace were magnificent and well-deserving of a handsome win that boosts their top-half chances and builds momentum towards an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. But they were up against the chaotic Arsenal of last season, not the composed version of this. That suddenly appears to be a problem position for the Gunners, with Arteta ominously admitting pre-match that Kieran Tierney’s knee injury, sustained while playing for Scotland last week, is “not looking good”. Arsenal were dealt another injury blow during the game with Partey forced off late on. Instead, the players and supporters began as they left off, dizzying their opponents through sheer intensity on the pitch and raucous noise off it.

It was also naive from Ødegaard and not the first time this season he’s put in an ill-advised challenge in the box to concede a penalty. Kieran Tierney may be out for the season. The side is thin, especially and unfortunately at the positions those three guys play. The game highlighted the need for summer signings. The loss is whatever, honestly. The Gunners had two penalty shouts not given. Ødegaard missed the target from a similar distance. Cedric was kicking the ball to nobody in particular. Eddie Nketiah put one off the the crossbar. I don’t want to pick on Tavares too much because he’s young, inexperienced, and put into a tough spot, but he’s not up for it right now. Growing up playing sports, we would say that as a reminder to ourselves to let bad performances and results go and to look forward to the next one. For all their dominance of the play, Palace created two chances.

"First of all we need to put our hands up and get the criticism we deserve. "I apologise to our supporters.

With injuries piling up, Arsenal's defeat at Crystal Palace suggests that Mikel Arteta's preference for a small, tightknit squad could backfire.

Zaha burst forward and was clipped in the box by Martin Odegaard, earning a penalty he dispatched moments after Partey hobbled off injured, holding his thigh. Tavares was perhaps unfortunate to be singled out at the break given the Gunners' collective malaise, a decision that feels bigger in the context of Tierney's likely absence. Arteta has other options at left-back, namely midfielder Granit Xhaka, who deputised there in the second half, and Cedric Soares, who could switch from right-back if Takehiro Tomiyasu returns from a calf injury. This time, on his first start since, he was withdrawn at the interval and by that stage, Arsenal had already thrown in the towel. We didn't have any dominance, any sequences of play where we could take control of the game and we conceded two poor goals as well, so overall it is unacceptable, put our hand up, apologise, regroup and tomorrow is a new day." A spirited Palace side brutally exploited Arsenal's shortcomings in a showing that raises serious questions about the Gunners' durability in the race for a Premier League top-four finish.

The Ghana midfielder picked up the injury during Arsenal's 3-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday evening.

I think from the first minute we wanted to put pressure on them and not allow them time on the ball. It’s what we have, it’s the numbers that we have. Arteta told the Arsenal website: “I don’t know, but he [Partey] felt something in the same area that he got injured previously, so it’s a big concern.

Arsenal's strength will be tested in their fight for top four as two more key names are added to their injury list.

If you have two players fighting for one position, the level of improvement becomes higher for both. His last league game was a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on New Year’s Day. He added: “Now at Arsenal we have two or three options in every position.

Whilst the Greek could likely have a friendly word in the defender’s ear, another Stuttgart employee might also be able to help Arsenal should they revive their interest. Arsenal released a statement confirming that he will undergo surgery for the problem and is now likely to miss the remainder of the campaign. Whilst he would likely want to rake in as high a price as possible for one of Stuttgart’s prized assets, his previous relationship with Arsenal could see the Gunners emerge as potential frontrunners for Sosa. Again, a deal will not be cheap, with the defender having three years left to run on his current deal, but it could certainly be one that the Gunners explore in the continued absence of Tierney.

Arsenal are exploring the terms to sign Leandro Paredes but trail Tottenham Hotspur, who the Paris Saint-Germain ace snubbed in the January transfer sales.

Massimiliano Allegri is a very keen admirer of the defensive midfielder, making a return to Italy highly possible. The Bianconeri explored signing the €5m-a-season (£80k-a/w) ace in January, but the Serie A side could not agree to terms. Paris Saint-Germain currently plan to value Paredes at €25m (£21m), should any club try to open negotiations.

Tierney's absence could prove to be a big blow to Arsenal's chances of qualifying for the Champions League, with manager Mikel Arteta not having a senior backup at left back. “However, it is likely that Kieran will now miss the remainder of this season.” LONDON (AP) — Arsenal left back Kieran Tierney is set to miss the rest of the season because of a knee injury that requires an operation.

Arsenal fell apart against Crystal Palace on Monday night, and defender Nuno Tavares had a night to forget at Selhurst Park.

The coming months will now show a lot about Tavares’ Arsenal future. With Tierney likely to be out for the rest of the campaign, Tavares should be the prime backup. Tavares was then substituted at half time, and whilst Mikel Arteta claimed it was just to get Gabriel Martinelli on the pitch, Tavares has to be worried.

Arsenal can offer Bernd Leno in a part-exchange deal for Allan Saint-Maximin as Newcastle reveal his £50m price tag.

Having him as an option in the starting XI or even on the bench would come as a major benefit for Arteta’s side. If the Gunners were to sell Pepe at the end of the season, then competition alongside Saka would certainly be needed. The departure of Leno is almost certain at the end of the season.

Arsenal minded to be open to £50m Kieran Tierney exit after Real Madrid lingers during latest injury setback.

Tavares’ former superior option Alex Grimaldo of Benfica has six goals and eight assists from the left-back position and could be a potential candidate. It is when considering this that perhaps Arsenal look to a potential left-back signing and become more open to Tierney’s departure. It will not be a popular view, but one which is worth raising. This is hardly surprising considering he has just signed a new contract with Arsenal. Only recently was Tierney being linked with a move away from the club. Based upon Monday night, it is almost a guarantee.

All of the latest Arsenal news on Wednesday morning including updates on Serge Gnabry, Wayne Rooney, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard.

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has been full of praise for teammate Martin Odegaard, hinting at his potential to be a captain in the future. However, if the Gunners are interested, they aren’t alone as Sky in Germany reports that Real Madrid have joined the race. It could be one to keep an eye on over the summer as his contract dwindles.

Alex Runarsson is expected to return to Arsenal in the summer, football.london understands. The Iceland international joined the Gunners from French side ...

I did the medical and got on the train to Arsenal to finish the small details, sign and settle in. That was important to me that they were thinking the same way I was. Leuven have an option to buy Runarsson beyond this season and talks are expected to get underway in the summer, although the Belgian side consider the current option figure to be too high for them.

Arsenal goalkeeper Alex Runarsson is set to return to the north London club next season despite a successful loan spell in Belgium with OH Leuven.

With Arsenal signing Runarsson for a small price, the north London side will not be criticised by supporters if they offload the Iceland international for cheap, especially with more established names set to depart the Emirates this summer. With Arsenal signing Runarsson for a tiny fee two years ago and Turner set to replace Leno as Ramsdale’s back-up in a season where the Gunners could compete in Europe, selling the Icelandic keeper is the best outcome for all parties. Indeed, with Runarsson stating in an interview last year following his loan move to OH Leuven that he ‘100%’ wanted to leave Arsenal, there’s a strong chance that Mikel Arteta will accept a small bid for the goalkeeper this summer.

The Scottish left-back was ruled out of Monday’s defeat with Palace due to a knee injury and it has now been confirmed that he will undergo surgery.

It is detailed that Newcastle United lodged a bid in the January window but Napoli would be requiring far more than their original offer.
