Arsenal are hoping to secure a seventh successive victory in all competitions when they welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates on Sunday.
While the Eagles’ record-breaking unbeaten run extended into the 2025–26 campaign, they’re visiting the home of the Premier League leaders without a win in three. On Thursday, Oliver Glasner‘s side were beaten by AEK Larnaca at Selhurst Park.
It currently doesn’t get any tougher than a trip to the Emirates, as Atlético Madrid found out on Tuesday night, with Arsenal gunning for their first Premier League title in over 20 years.
The Gunners are also on track to threaten Chelsea’s seemingly unbeatable defensive record from 2004–05; the Blues conceded just 15 goals all season under José Mourinho, while Arsenal have merely conceded three through eight games.
The hosts may be without one of their stars at the back on Sunday, though. Here’s the team Mikel Arteta could pick for Palace’s visit.
