Arsenal’s next chance to stop a rough run of results is a visit from improved Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday (Watch live at 7:30am ET Saturday on USA Network and stream online via NBCSports.com).
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners sit fourth, five points off leaders Liverpool, who beat them at home Sunday in the FA Cup. Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes have taken a big hit thanks to a three-match winless streak in the league — a draw at Liverpool followed by London losses to West Ham and Fulham.

Chances for improvement and vengeance abound, as the Gunners meet Palace and Nottingham Forest before PL rematches with Liverpool and West Ham.
Palace have found goals hard to come by this season, their 22 the third-fewest in the league, but have also missed Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze for much of the season. Olise’s out again but Eze is available for the Gunners.
Palace is 1W-2D-1L in their last four Premier League games, and just bowed out of the FA Cup after a scoreless home match versus Everton led to a 1-0 loss at Goodison Park in Wednesday’s replay.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace live updates! - By Joe Prince-Wright
Gabriel’s header hits Henderson and goes in - Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace (37th minute)
Another corner and another Gabriel header puts Arsenal in a commanding position. Saka’s corner to the back post sees Gabriel beat Chris Richards again and the ball hits the back of Dean Henderson’s head and goes in. Palace’s goalkeeper wanted a foul on him but nothing is given and there was no foul. Instead, he gets an own goal given against him.
David Raya denies Lerma after poor clearance
Arsenal haven’t kicked on after that early goal and Raya’s poor clearance falls to Lerma who spanks a shot towards goal. Raya pushes it wide for a corner and there is a hint of anxiety building among the home fans.
Gabriel heads home the opener - Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace (11th minute)
A corner from the left is whipped in and Gabriel rises above USMNT’s Chris Richards and powerfully nods home. That is the early goal Mikel Arteta wanted and Arsenal are rewarded for their dominance. Palace now have to come out and have a go as their gameplan was to sit in and try to keep things tight for as long as possible. That didn’t last long.
Arsenal lineup
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
Crystal Palace lineup
Henderson; Richards, Andersen, Guehi; Clyne, Lerma, Hughes, Mitchell; Schlupp, Mateta, Eze
Focus on Arsenal, team news
Arsenal need better, and fast. Injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko won’t help, and Arteta was hoping for good news in their cases before Saturday. He got it as both are fit to start the game.
Focus on Crystal Palace, team news
The Eagles’ 21 points are five clear of the bottom three and Roy Hodgson can point to a draw with Man City plus a rivalry split with Brighton and a win over Brentford in a four-match run that includes just one loss — a 2-1 setback at Chelsea.
Michael Olise’s absence looms here, while Jordan Ayew also damages the front line depth as he plays a starring role for Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.
