00:00And a very good afternoon to you from North London for the Gunners' third successive London derby in the league.
00:06And when these two sides met back in December, Arsenal recorded a thumping win, a 5-1 victory that remains the biggest home defeat of Oliver Glasner's Palace reign.
00:15His side have lost only five of their 41 games in League and Cup since.
00:21An extraordinary run that contained their very finest hour with their FA Cup triumph at Wembley.
00:30And I will forever, come through the snow.
00:46Today's match is marking the Premier League's No Room for Racism initiative, highlighting the ongoing commitment to tackle all forms of discrimination and promote diversity.
01:00Since the turn of the year, no team has lost fewer Premier League games than Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
01:06And as the Gunners hope to keep the daylight between themselves and the chasing pack, the high-flying Eagles seek a statement win that will take them closer to the rarefied air of the top six.
01:16Home crowd finding their voice.
01:25And Zubamendi only finding Saar.
01:28Really good block from the retreating Gabriel.
01:32Some of the other names that have been mentioned, maybe not quite so much.
01:36Mateta getting it through here for Munoz.
01:41Flag has stayed down.
01:42Pino is in the middle.
01:44And Ryan makes sure the ball doesn't get there.
01:48Now the flag comes up against Munoz.
01:55Outstanding centre-forward play.
01:57That's what Clustopay has had, the ability to play long into Mateta, because he's so good at holding the ball up.
02:04His movement's good, his strength's good, and his awareness to pick out Munoz, who actually had gone a fraction too early and was in an offside position.
02:11Danger signs, warning signs are there for Arsenal.
02:14Jokeres chasing here, and getting goals out of Lacroix as well.
02:23Rich is coming across, doubling up with the Frenchman.
02:28Jokeres has retained possession well.
02:30Zubamendi with a nice first-time ball for Declan Rice.
02:34Resists the temptation to shoot.
02:36Trossard doesn't.
02:37Henderson can make the save.
02:39This is his first shot on target.
02:44It's wound deep by Rice.
02:48It might break for Eza.
02:54The star of Palace's side is now a thorn in their side.
03:00And with a sense of inevitability,
03:03Bericci, Eza's first Premier League goal for Arsenal,
03:07comes against his old club.
03:10Eza provides it.
03:14Well, it had to be him.
03:15And it had to be a set-piece.
03:19A cheap free kick given away by Crystal Palace.
03:22Arsenal take advantage.
03:25The ball goes back into the danger area,
03:27and who's the quickest to react?
03:28It's Eza.
03:29An acrobatic effort.
03:32Henderson doesn't even move.
03:35Against his former club,
03:36he gets his first Premier League goal for Arsenal.
03:39It's going to be a short corner this.
03:47Rolled to Eza on the edge of the penalty area.
03:49Back for Rice.
03:51Had to clip it in with his left foot
03:52rather than his right.
03:53It's come off.
03:54The underside of the bar back out towards Rice.
03:59Trossard claiming a penalty, nothing given.
04:01Here's Saka.
04:11Much better from Arsenal.
04:13And another set-piece.
04:15Causing some real problems again.
04:17Oh, how's it not two?
04:19Not once, not twice.
04:21Three times, Arsenal could have scored.
04:24They're checking a penalty.
04:26Potential handball.
04:28Maybe for a block from the Declan Rice effort.
04:31They're still holding.
04:33Saka's effort just curling wide.
04:36And Gahey was there.
04:49Warp trying to stop him making that run again.
04:51He's gone very deep and bundled just one.
04:59Lugos again.
05:00Oh, Raya.
05:01Good enough.
05:06Wharton sending it in.
05:08And it's easy for Raya to claim.
05:16Oh, it's off Lacroix.
05:18Rare mistake from him.
05:19And Lugares couldn't get himself into a position to take advantage.
05:24Arsenal have got to resume him ending.
05:27Off the line.
05:31Saka wide for Enquetia taking on and beating Moskera for pace.
05:34Looking for Mateta.
05:36Now winning a corner.
05:46Swing on it.
05:47It was Gahey that met it.
05:56Into added time.
05:57And six extra minutes to be played.
06:04Palace make it a long six for Arsenal.
06:07Saka trying to do exactly that.
06:08Got the better of Enquetia.
06:09Huse has done well to win it back.
06:13Ball in that hits Gabriel.
06:15Second one hoisted high.
06:17And a half had under optimistic from Maxence Lacroix.
06:24Arsenal's so good from set pieces but they've got one to defend here.
06:27Jefferson Lerner's long throw.
06:31Richards the target.
06:33Comes out for Sosa.
06:35Helping it back into the frame.
06:37Trossard clearing.
06:38And the referee spots an infringement that will give Arsenal a free kick.
06:42And together Timberan and Enquetia.
06:47Play goes on.
06:48Moskera clears.
06:50Here's a Palace throw.
06:51And the referee indicating that there's still one minute to go.
07:06Long from Henderson again.
07:08Palace getting everybody forward.
07:10Encaffier with the diving header away.
07:14That blow of the whistle is music to the ears of Arsenal fans.
07:19They are very nearly there now.
07:21Chalk up another one.
07:29Arsenal make it seven straight wins in Ligue 1 Cup.
07:33And put seven points between themselves and Champions Liverpool.
07:37On the day that a Palace legend becomes the Eagles' nemesis.
07:44Berejieza with the only goal.
07:47But one was enough.
07:49Arsenal profiting from a set piece again.
07:52Not a vintage Gunners performance.
07:55But in the context of the unfolding title race.
