The arsenal hosts Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon while Unai Emery and his team seek to carve out a place in the top four in the Premier League.
Tottenham losing to Manchester City and Manchester United ahead of a difficult course at Everton on Sunday, a win for the Gunners could help secure their place in the Champions League next season.
After a tough win in Naples on Thursday night, Emery faces a quick turnaround to prepare his team for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Injuries inflicted on Aaron Ramsey and suspension in Sokratis will force the Spanish manager to make some changes to the game while the Gunners face a busy schedule.
Here is an overview of how gunners could align for the Sunday clash …
Goalkeeper and defenders
Bernd Leno (GK) – After leaving Petr Cech for Thursday's Europa League match, Leno is expected to return between the batons for Arsenal on Sunday. The German will look for a repeat of his last game, where he made several key stops to get to Watford.
Shkodran Mustafi (RB) – Suspended center back Sokratis may force Emery to rethink his back line. The former Valencian man could find himself Sunday facing the difficult task of keeping Wilfried Zaha calm.
Konstantinos Mavropanos (BC) – The 21-year-old spent a lot of injured time in the season, but recently returned to Emery's starting lineup for his impressive win at Vicarage Road. The Greek defender should represent himself once again in the absence of suspended Sokratis.
Laurent Koscielny (BC) – The Arsenal skipper has been a mainstay of the team this year and will lead his team to the Emirates on Sunday. His leadership will be essential to defeating a palace team whose style of play is best suited for playing outside.
Sead Kolasinac (LB) – The Bosnian international has spent most of the season on the left back, but could return to a more reserved role on Sunday afternoon. With Palace offering a large threat, Kolasinac may have to restrict his usual attacking game.
Midfielders
Matteo Guendouzi (CM) – The long-haired Frenchman was missing from Arsenal's victory in Naples on Thursday. Emery should bring him to refresh the engine room.
Granite Xhaka (CM) – Thought for a shot from Thursday, the Swiss midfielder will be closely evaluated from Sunday. However, the 26-year-old should succeed and figure in Emery's starting team.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan (RM) – Having played only as a substitute on Thursday night, the Armenian could prove himself in an Arsenal midfielder touched by Aaron Ramsey 's injury.
Mesut Ozil (CAM) – As it is the norm these days, Ozil did not start in Arsenal's previous two matches, as they were both absent. Now that they are returning to the Emirates Stadium, the German should take his place and try to dismantle a strong Eagles team.
Alex Iwobi (LM) – The Nigerian international was impressed on the last day of the Premier League in Watford. Having played only Thursday on the bench, Iwobi is expected to make his comeback in the team and look to cause trouble at the Palace's back line with his direct play style.
To the front
A flawless stayAlexandre Lacazette (ST) – With a busy schedule at the end of the season, Emery chose to stop one of his striking duos for Premier League matches. Lacazette scored the crucial goal Thursday night and that could be enough to give him a starting place Sunday.
