Arsenal vs Crystal Palace LIVE result: Gunners miss chance to take top-four advantage after 3-2 defeat
Follow the latest updates live as Arsenal take on Crystal Palace looking to strengthen their place in the Premier League top four.
Arsenal head into the match off the back of their progression to the Europa League semi-finals and a first Premier League away win in two months following last Monday’s win over Watford. With Tottenham losing on Saturday and Manchester United trailing at Everton, Arsenal can seize the advantage in the race for Champions League football.
But Crystal Palace will be no pushovers in this London derby, with Roy Hodgson’s side still needing to mathematically secure their place in the Premier League, and with the Eagles still a point away from the 40-point mark they cannot be taken lightly by Unai Emery’s side. Follow the live updates below.
