´Our incentive is to win our game – Arteta not focused on title permutations

If Arsenal lose to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday, Liverpool will be crowned champions, but Mikel Arteta says that is not an added incentive to win.

The Gunners are 13 points off the leaders with five games left, meaning that even if they do beat Palace, they will miss out on the title for the third consecutive season if the Reds beat Tottenham on Sunday.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in all competitions (W6 D5) and got back to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town on Sunday, denying Liverpool a chance to claim the title later that day.

Arteta’s side also have a Champions League semi-final coming up against Paris Saint-Germain next week, but the Spaniard is not thinking about rotation, with his full focus on prolonging Liverpool’s title celebrations once more.

“Our incentive is to win our game and to do our best to continue with our run that we are in right now, the rest we cannot control,” he said.

“[We have to] earn the right to win the game [on Wednesday] against a really good side.

“They have a really good record away from home as well, and after that, we have time to prepare [for PSG] really well.”

Arteta also confirmed Bukayo Saka’s injury was “nothing serious” and that he should be available for Wednesday’s match.

This game has been pushed forward due to Palace’s involvement in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa on Saturday, but their form has stalled in recent weeks.

Since their quarter-final win over Fulham, the Eagles have won just one of their five Premier League games (L2 D2).

They drew 0-0 with Bournemouth last weekend despite Chris Richards’ sending-off, a much-needed clean sheet after conceding five goals against both Manchester City and Newcastle United prior to that.

Wednesday will see Eddie Nketiah return to the Emirates again following his transfer last year, and Oliver Glasner admitted he feels “sad” that his effort has not seen more rewards.

“It’s not time to sum up Eddie’s season now, but he’s so hard-working,” said Glasner. “Sometimes I feel a little bit sad for him, personally, when I see all his effort.

“It looks like, sometimes, things don’t go well for him. I see him every day working.

“And there will come a day when he gets paid for all his effort. For me, it feels like they didn’t come until now.”

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Arsenal – Declan Rice

Declan Rice has had a hand in seven goals in his last eight appearances at the Emirates (four goals, three assists).

In all competitions, only Bukayo Saka (15) and Kai Havertz (14) have more goals and assists combined than Rice on home soil for the Gunners this season (11 – five goals, six assists).

Crystal Palace – Jean-Philippe Mateta

Jean-Philippe Mateta has been involved in five goals in his last seven Premier League London derbies (four goals, one assist), scoring in three this season against Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham.

Only three Eagles players have scored in four games in one season – Andrew Johnson in 2004-05 (six), Jordan Ayew in 2019-20 (four), and Christian Benteke in 2020-21 (four).

MATCH PREDICTION: ARSENAL WIN

Arsenal have won their last five Premier League games against Crystal Palace, netting exactly five goals in both of the last two.

Having been unbeaten in four Premier League away games against Arsenal between 2019 and 2021 (W1 D3), Palace have lost their two league visits to the Emirates by an aggregate score of 9-1.

Arsenal have lost just three of their last 36 home Premier League matches (W26 D7), though two of those three have been in London derbies, both defeats to West Ham in December 2023 (0-2) and February this season (0-1).

However, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s worst month for Premier League points per game at the Emirates is in April (18 in 12 games, 1.5 points per game), losing more games in that month (four) than any other.

Meanwhile, Palace have won three Premier League London derbies this season, last winning more in a single top-flight campaign in 1990-91 (five).

OPTA WIN PROBABILITY

Arsenal – 64.4%

Draw – 20.3%

Crystal Palace – 15.2%
