Arsenal will be taking on a London opponent for the final time this season when they face Palace and will be looking to extend yet another impressive record.

The Gunners have won seven of their 11 London derbies this season taking 24 points from their rivals to once again secure their status as the kings of the capital. Among those victories was a dominant 5-1 win away at Selhurst Park in December.

With not much to play for in the league, Mikel Arteta will be at least be wanting his side to pick up one final result against a rival to cement themselves as London's best team for the third consecutive season.
