League leaders vs. mid-table side
The Premier League reaches its 38th and final matchday, with league leaders Arsenal visiting Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace. Arsenal currently sit at the top of the table with 82 points, while Crystal Palace are in 15th place with 45 points. For Arsenal, who are aiming to win the title or secure the highest honors, this away fixture is crucial.
Sharp contrast in recent form
There is a clear gap in the recent form of the two teams. Crystal Palace are in a slump, having failed to win any of their last five matches with two draws and three losses, including a 1-3 away defeat to Liverpool and a 0-3 loss to Bournemouth. In contrast, Arsenal are in red-hot form, winning four and drawing one of their last five matches across all competitions, while keeping four consecutive clean sheets. This includes three consecutive 1-0 victories in the Premier League against Burnley and West Ham United, as well as a 3-0 win over Fulham.
