Arsenal v Crystal Palace LIVE: Score and updates from Premier League clash as Jakub Kiwior puts Gunners ahead

Both sides have settled pretty well, though Arsenal of course look very comfortable.

At least, they do until Nketiah latches onto Eze’s long ball and catches Raya out of position, with Devenny very close to turning in the former Arsenal striker’s cross.

Half a chance for Rice now as it bounces up nicely and he rifles a half-volley wide. Good tempo to the game so far, which is a little surprising.

Nketiah meets the set-piece but he heads well wide.

Odegaard’s pass runs straight to Devenny and Palace have a chance to get forward, and the chance ends with Kamada’s volleyed effort being deflected past the far post.

Half a chance for Palace as Munoz gets onto the end of a diagonal ball in, but his cross is straight to Raya.

Arsenal counter, led by Martinelli, but the Brazilian can only dribble out of play.

That’s Kiwior’s first goal since February 2024!

At the other end, a cheap foul on the wing gives Palace a chance to swing in the set-piece, but Kiwior heads away before the visitors win a corner.

Palace, of course, have their own semi-final to look ahead to this weekend, which may explain why some key players are on the bench to begin with. They face Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday.

It’s a pedestrian start at the Emirates, with the hosts in possession.

We’re underway in north London! It’s fairly subdued at the Emirates right now – you get the feeling the Gunners have an eye on next week.

The teams are in the tunnel at the Emirates, so we’re around five minutes from kick-off.

It’s a fairly strong team fielded by Mikel Arteta, and he’ll want them to get a good dress rehearsal in for the PSG game in a week’s time.
