Your support makes all the difference.Arsenal could match their run of 12 successive victories recorded in October 2007 if they beat Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Unai Emery’s men, who have been victorious in every game since their 3-2 defeat to Chelsea in mid-September, made it 11 straight wins in all competitions after grinding out a 1-0 win against Sporting CP in the Europa League.
Crystal Palace, however, have lost each of their last three fixtures and have failed to score in their last two, when they were beaten by Wolves and Everton. Follow the latest below.
What time does it start?
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal kicks off at 1:30pm.
Where can I watch it?
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Premier League and Main Event channels from 12:30pm. Highlights will be shown at 10:30pm on BBC One.
It’s a big game for…
Luka Milivojevic: The Serbian has been in poor form lately and that was highlighted last weekend by his abysmal penalty down the middle which Jordan Pickford easily saved. The 27-year-old midfielder has scored twice in three fixtures against Arsenal, though, and Roy Hodgson will hope he can rediscover his best form against an opponent he fairs relatively well against.
Weird stat…
104.6: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has a Premier League goal ratio of one every 104.6 minutes on average, the best in the league’s history for players who have scored at least 10 times.
Player to watch…
Mesut Ozil: The former Germany international was at his magisterial best against Leicester City on Monday. He placed Hector Bellerin’s cross past Kasper Schmeichel on the half volley to equalise before being heavily involved in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s double, including the assist for his second. Ozil was an unused substitute in Lisbon and therefore will be fresh and raring to go come kick-off on Sunday.

Crystal Palace to win: 17/5
Arsenal to win: 3/4
Draw: 3/1
5 min: Burnley 0-0 Chelsea
Burnley have made a positive start at Turf Moor. Gudmundsson in particular has whipped in a few inticing balls. Chelsea defence relatively untroubled so far though.
6 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Arsenal
A fairly even start so far in south London. Zaha has given the Arsenal defence lots of problems already but there does seem to be a bit of a midfield tussle at the moment.
8 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Arsenal
It is that man Zaha who forces the first real action of the game. He wins a corner for his side, which save a last-moment header could have seen Tomkins give Palace the lead.
12 min: Burnley 0-0 Chelsea
First chance for Chelsea and a fantastic save from Hart. Kante's cross is laid back to Barkley by Willian. The England midfielder's shot is hit into the ground, but Morata tries to guide it in with his head and almost succeeds, but for the intervention of Hart.
14 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Alex Iwobi has looked incredibly sharp so far this season, and he is a livewire in the midfield again as he links up nicely with Alexandre Lacazette. The Nigerian's shot however poses no threat to Hennessey's goal.
15 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Two massive chances for the hosts. First Zaha hits the outside of the post after a cross from the right finds its way to him. Then he nearly turns provider, but Townsend cannot divert his effort on target with the goal gaping.
18 min: Burnley 0-0 Chelsea
Kepa has looked very uncertain under the high ball so far, and his misjudgments nearly cost his side dearly. Robbie Brady cannot divert his volley on target however with the Basque scrambling back to his goal.
21 min: Burnley 0-0 Chelsea
Gudmundsson is not just proving to be a threat with balls into the box. The Iceland winger beats Alonso and nearly enables Vokes to divert the ball home.
GOAL! Burnley 0-1 Chelsea (Morata 22')
This is a great goal from Chelsea. Barkley incisively and cutely feeds the Spaniard with a perfectly-weighted ball, and the striker pokes past Joe Hart to give Sarri's side the lead.
23 min: Crystal Palace 0-0 Arsenal
Palace have been impressive so far but give themselves a reminder of how they threw the Everton game away. They lose the ball deep in their own half, but Lacazette can only divert his left-foot shot wide.
A couple of minutes later Ozil sets up Bellerin, but the Spaniard dawdles and Palace manage to block
