Crystal Palace host Premier League champions Arsenal in the final game of the season, as both teams are managing the workload ahead of next week's European finals.
Crystal Palace cannot finish higher than 14th in the table, while outgoing manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that he will manage the players' minutes ahead of the club's first European final, against Rayo Vallecano in the UEFA Conference League.
The Eagles have not won in their last six league games, with three draws and three losses, but remain unbeaten at Selhurst Park in the Premier League since February.
Arsenal, meanwhile, ended their 22-year wait for the championship title, as Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth secured Mikel Arteta's side the Premier League triumph.
The Gunners will play this match without pressure, but with the aim of maintaining the pace before the Champions League final against PSG. Arsenal comes after four consecutive victories in the championship without conceding a goal and seeks to extend this series into the final week.
History clearly favours Arsenal, who have won eight of their last nine meetings with Crystal Palace. The Londoners have also triumphed in their last three visits to Selhurst Park, keeping a clean sheet twice.
At Palace, Ismaïla Sarr remains the most in-form player, having scored in three of his last four games. For Arsenal, Kai Havertz is enjoying a positive moment, with two goals and an assist in his last four appearances.
