Arsenal’s season concludes at Crystal Palace on Sunday with the Premier League trophy presentation. The Gunners were crowned Premier League champions, and the celebrations will continue at Selhurst Park.
Arsenal to Receive Trophy After Palace Match
Following their victory against Burnley and subsequent coronation as Premier League champions, Arsenal will be presented with the trophy after the Crystal Palace match. Martin Odegaard will follow in Patrick Vieira’s footsteps, becoming the next Gunners captain to lift the silverware. Arsenal supporters will be able to celebrate the moment they’ve waited 22 years for.
Mikel Arteta said they have 48 hours to enjoy the success of winning the league. He added that they need to lift again their habits and standards to compete in the best possible way. Arteta also noted that on Sunday, they’ll have a little window there again to celebrate and connect with the people who are constantly around them, but then they have six days to write a new history in this football club.
Palace Aim to End Winless Streak
Crystal Palace heads into this game winless in their last six Premier League games. They are on course to finish in their lowest league placing for a decade, having seen their league form dip drastically as their European exploits gathered pace. Just four victories have been claimed from their 25 domestic games since mid-December.
Oliver Glasner stated that he is looking forward to the last game at Selhurst, having another great 90 minutes together. He hopes for a fantastic game because they are hosting the new Premier League winners, which makes it special.
