Quotes
 
"We have to somehow put 11 players out there and have four or five changes. Let's see how they recover in the next few days," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said when asked if he would rotate his team against Palace.
 
"The good thing is they are willing to play because they like the rhythm as well. We are so used to that rhythm every three days that the boys are demanding and then we don't have a game on the weekend. 
 
"We have a gap there, so let's see how we get there on Wednesday."
 
Head-to-Head 
 
Arsenal hammered Palace 5-1 in their last meeting in the league, which was on 21 December at Selhurst Park.
 
As a result, the Gunners are undefeated in their last five Premier League matches against the Eagles, having registered five successive wins.
