Overview
- Arsenal were confirmed as Premier League champions earlier this week, ending a 22-year wait, and will be given a guard of honor before their final match at Selhurst Park on Sunday, May 24.
- Both clubs are prioritising European finals—Arsenal against PSG in the Champions League and Crystal Palace against Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League—which has led managers to plan significant rotation to rest key starters.
- Kickoff is at 4 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET) on May 24 and U.S. coverage is listed on multiple streaming services, including Fubo and DirecTV Stream, with Sky Sports carrying the game in the UK.
- Reported injury absences that will shape largely rotated XIs include Arsenal defenders Jurriën Timber and Ben White plus midfielder Mikel Merino not yet fit to start, and Palace defenders Chris Richards and Borna Sosa plus midfielder Cheick Oumar Doucouré.
- Although the result has no bearing on the title, the game offers match minutes for fringe players to audition for places in the upcoming European finals and allows managers to avoid risking their main squad before those decisive matches.
