Arsenal faces Crystal Palace in a crucial Premier League match, needing a win to keep their momentum despite being out of title contention. Mikel Arteta insists the team's focus is purely on winning rather than the implications for Liverpool. Maintaining an unbeaten streak with a recent victory against Ipswich, Arteta emphasizes the goal is to continue their strong form without considering future matches against PSG. Palace, struggling recently, has also been affected by injuries and poor form, highlighting the significance of this London derby for both teams.
Our incentive is to win our game and to do our best to continue with our run that we are in right now, the rest we cannot control.
We have to earn the right to win the game [on Wednesday] against a really good side. They have a really good record away from home as well, and after that, we have time to prepare [for PSG] really well.
Since their quarter-final win over Fulham, the Eagles have won just one of their five Premier League games (L2 D2).
This game has been pushed forward due to Palace's involvement in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa on Saturday, but their form has stalled in recent weeks.
