Most of the focus will be on what happens after the game at Selhurst Park on Sunday, as Arsenal get to lift the Premier League trophy for the first time in 22 years following the clash with Crystal Palace.
WATCH — Crystal Palace v Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s side were crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday after Manchester City drew at Bournemouth. That ended a 22-year wait to be Premier League champs again and the celebrations have been wild across north London, and the globe, over the past few days. But after this game Arsenal have the small matter of the UEFA Champions League final against PSG in Budapest next Saturday, so key players will be rested and Arteta will be praying for no injuries.
Crystal Palace will also rest plenty of players as they head to Leipzig on Wednesday for their Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano. This will be Oliver Glasner’s final home game in charge of Palace as he will leave this summer when his contract expires. If Palace win the Conference League then they’re in the Europa League next season, and that is a wonderful parting gift for Glasner to give them.
