Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Competition – English Premier League Stadium: Selhurst Park Date: 24th May 2026 Kick-off time – 16:00 GMT
Sunday’s final-day showdown at Selhurst Park brings the Premier League curtain down on a landmark season. Arsenal arrive as confirmed champions — 82 points from 37 matches have secured the title regardless of what unfolds this afternoon, and the four-point advantage over Manchester City in second is irreducible with only one game remaining. The Gunners have the chance to push their tally to 85 and sign off one of the club’s finest league campaigns in the Premier League era.
For Crystal Palace, the afternoon carries no relegation anxiety but genuine positional motivation. Sitting 15th on 45 points, they are nine points clear of the relegation zone — West Ham occupy 18th on 36 — and their Premier League status was secured weeks ago. Nottingham Forest sit two points behind in 16th on 43 points. A Palace win today lifts them to 48 points; a defeat combined with a Forest victory would drop the Eagles one place to 16th. The incentive to finish above the Tricky Trees is straightforward.
Palace head into this encounter without consistent form. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw away at Brentford. Prior to that, they were beaten 3-0 at Manchester City. Before that, they drew 2-2 at home to Everton. Earlier in this run, they registered a 2-1 home win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Conference League, and the sequence opened with a 3-0 defeat away at Bournemouth. Four results from five without a win does not make for encouraging preparation ahead of facing the champions.
Arsenal arrive in the kind of form that underlines exactly why they hold that title. Their most recent outing produced a 1-0 home win over Burnley. Prior to that, they won 1-0 away at West Ham. Before that, they edged Atlético Madrid 1-0 at the Emirates in the Champions League knockout stages. Earlier in this run, they were dominant in a 3-0 home win over Fulham. The sequence opened with a 1-1 draw away in Madrid — a composed result that left them in full control. Four wins from five, with a clean sheet in four of those victories, reflects a side operating with genuine quality and confidence.
The numbers across the season tell their own story. Arsenal have conceded just 26 goals in 37 matches, the best defensive record in the division by a significant margin. Crystal Palace have shipped 49 and scored 40 — a goal difference of -9 that captures the inconsistency that has defined their campaign. The gap in quality between these sides has been evident all season.
The head-to-head record firmly favours Arsenal, who have won three of the last five meetings, with two draws and no wins for Crystal Palace. Most recently, the sides drew 1-1 at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup in December 2025. The previous encounter was also at Arsenal’s ground — a 1-0 Premier League win for the Gunners in October 2025.
Arsenal will be well aware that Selhurst Park is one of the Premier League’s noisiest environments on a final-day occasion, and Palace will have enough motivation to put in a competitive performance. But the quality across the pitch and the momentum Arsenal carry makes it difficult to see anything other than a visitors’ victory closing out the campaign.

Lineups & Injuries
Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1) Mitchell, Henderson, Lacroix, Riad, Canvot, Wharton, Sarr, Muñoz, Kamada, Johnson, Mateta
Crystal Palace: Nketiah (Out), Doucouré (Out), Lacroix (Doubtful), Guessand (Doubtful), Richards (Doubtful)
Arsenal (4-2-3-1) Raya, Lewis-Skelly, Magalhães, Saliba, Mosquera, Nørgaard, Zubimendi, Martinelli, Ødegaard, Madueke, Gyøkeres
Arsenal: Timber (Out), White (Out)
Crystal Palace are the more disrupted side heading into this fixture. The absence of Nketiah and Doucouré removes two of their regular contributors, while three further doubts across defence and attack add uncertainty to the selection picture. Arsenal lose Timber and White at full-back, but the depth available to them across the backline means the impact is considerably more manageable.
