Arsenal could manage to keep Liverpool's champagne on ice for a little bit longer if they can beat Crystal Palace in a Premier League London derby on Wednesday. Liverpool are 13 points clear at the top of the table with just five games remaining in the season but it's not yet "mathematically" impossible for Arsenal to beat them to the title.
The Gunners fired four without reply past a hapless Ipswich Town last Sunday to delay Liverpool's title celebrations thanks to a Leandro Trossard double and goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri.
Impressively, the Gunners showed no patent signs of fatigue despite dispatching Real Madrid from the Champions League with two dominant performances across the two legs of the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth met at Selhurst Park at the weekend and at the end of a heated contest where tempers flared rather swiftly, the two teams parted ways, sharing the spoils.
Trending
Palace defender Chris Richard was sent off in what was an otherwise professional performance from the Eagles.
Despite that inconvenience, however, it was a positive result for Olive Glasner, who watched his side concede 10 goals combined in their previous two outings against Manchester City and Newcastle United.
Palace are now likely to be focused on their FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa this weekend. Despite having been beaten the Gunners in the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park, they won't shy away from taking quite a few swings when they take to the Emirates on Wednesday.
