Arsenal are set to host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on March 19. The league leaders will look to extend their five-point lead over Manchester City by grabbing all three points against Palace. The visitors, meanwhile, will play their first game since Patrick Vieira's sacking.

Palace are 12th in the league table with 27 points from 27 matches. They haven't won any of their previous five league games, losing their last three on the trot.
