Arsenal welcomes Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as they look to solidify their position at the top of the Premier League table. The Gunners are aiming to secure their seventh successive win across all competitions.

Team News:

Arsenal's camp has been closely monitoring the fitness of Gabriel Magalhães. The Brazilian defender was forced off during Tuesday's Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid and missed training. While Mikel Arteta expressed uncertainty about his availability, Gabriel was later spotted in training and with the squad on Sunday morning. Should Gabriel not be risked, Cristhian Mosquera is ready to step in.

Arsenal continues to miss key players such as Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke, who are still sidelined with knee injuries. However, Piero Hincapie has returned to the bench after recovering from his recent injury.

Crystal Palace has a relatively short injury list, with Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad, and Caleb Kporha remaining out.

Predicted Lineups:

Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli.

Crystal Palace: Glasner is likely to make changes to the starting XI due to the quick turnaround from their Europa Conference League match. Chris Richards and Adam Wharton are expected to return to the team.

Form Analysis:

Arsenal has been in impressive form, losing only once in the Premier League this season and conceding just three goals. They are currently three points ahead of Manchester City. Their previous Premier League match was a 1-0 victory over Fulham. In their last match, they defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League.

Crystal Palace, after an impressive start to the season, has slowed down, failing to win their previous three matches across all competitions. Before this recent slump, they were on a club-record 19-game unbeaten run. In their previous Premier League match, they drew 3-3 against Bournemouth.

Head-to-Head:

Arsenal has won five of their last six Premier League encounters with Crystal Palace. The exception was a 2-2 draw in the exact fixture last season. In that game, Arsenal twice relinquished the lead, with Eberechi Eze, who now plays for Arsenal, scoring for Palace.

Match Details:

The match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace will kick off at 2 p.m. local time in London, England.

Prediction:

Arsenal will be aiming to maintain their lead at the top of the table with a win against Crystal Palace. Even if Gabriel is absent, Arsenal's solid defense should be able to keep Palace at bay.

Predicted score: Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace.
