On Easter Sunday, Crystal Palace will make the short journey across London to the Emirates stadium where they will face a testing challenge against an Arsenal side slowly turning north of the river into a red stronghold.
The Gunners have become almost invincible at home this season, winning their last 10 league games in Holloway without losing a league match there since August 12 against Manchester City.
The task facing Palace, then, is of considerable magnitude and while the Eagles' recent history with their north London counterparts will not inspire great confidence, Roy Hodgson's side have recorded a win and a draw in their last four fixtures against Arsenal having not won previously since 1994.
