Good Morning,
Two midweek matches?? I know it sounds too good to be true but sometimes life is just that way. Let’s enjoy it and not think about how sad we all are that Villa gave up the late winner against City yesterday. It’s a short one today folks. Enjoy!

🔥 Headline Match: Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace

🏟️ Emirates Stadium | 🕗 8:00 PM BST / 12:00 PM PT

🔴 Just tapppp it in.
IIt’s basically a foregone conclusion that Liverpool is going to win the league — it’s just a matter of when. Arsenal can delay it a little longer by not losing today. A loss would crown Liverpool as Premier League champions without them even kicking a ball… which, let’s be honest, would be super lame.

Manager Mikel Arteta faces a selection dilemma, balancing the need for a strong lineup with their (HUGE) upcoming Champions League semi-final against PSG. Injuries to key players like Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz complicate matters, though Bukayo Saka is expected to play.

🦅 FA Cup Looming… Stay Focused
Sitting 12th in the league, Crystal Palace’s attention might already be drifting toward their FA Cup semi-final vs. Aston Villa this weekend. Manager Oliver Glasner could rest key players — but don’t expect them to roll over. The Eagles have scored in 9 of their last 11 matches and will be eager to “take it to” their London rivals.

⚽ Match Implications

• For Arsenal: Maintain momentum heading into the Champions League and delay some smug (and premature) Liverpool celebrations.

• For Crystal Palace: A morale-boosting win before their FA Cup semi-final. Also… no one likes losing. Especially to Arsenal.
