Somehow, Arsenal are going into the final two games of the season with an outside chance of qualifying for next season’s Europa League.

Of course, it’s incredibly unlikely, but if Tottenham, West Ham and Everton drop points and Arsenal win both of their games the Gunners could sneak into the top six.

In order to give themselves even the slightest chance the north London outfit need to take maximum points from their next two games, and that starts against Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening.

In order for Arsenal to beat Palace, Mikel Arteta will need to get his team selection spot on, and with that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting their starting XI for this one.

We think that Arsenal will opt for a change in shape for this one after going to a three-at-the-back to match-up against Chelsea.

We think that the personnel will remain largely the same, but Calum Chambers comes in for Gabriel Magalhaes in the only change.

The 4-2-3-1 sees Bukayo Saka return to a more advanced role, while Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Pierre-Emerick Aubamyang also play in the attacking roles.
