After Arsenal earned a crucial (and controversial) win against West Ham United, all eyes are on Manchester City to respond as they face Crystal Palace in their Premier League game on Wednesday.
Manchester City, who have played a game less, are on 74 points, five behind leaders Arsenal. They cannot afford to drop more points as Pep Guardiola will be keen to maintain the pressure on Arsenal with a win.
Crystal Palace, who are 14th in the standings, will take hope from their 2-2 draw against Everton and their Europa Conference League run where they made it to the final.

Talking Points:
Arsenal haven't clinched the Premier League title, but it seems they are destined for glory after their frantic win over West Ham United on Sunday. They could've stumbled but for Leandro Trossard's 83rd minute goal followed by a disallowed West Ham strike which resulted in probably the biggest VAR call since its introduction in the Premier League.
A win like that for Arsenal can have a demoralising impact on Manchester City. They are still five points behind, and the title is not in their hands anymore. Despite beating Arsenal recently and not suffering a league loss since January, Manchester City are still second best. It might not be their season after all.
But here's the thing. It's not the first time that Man City have taken it so late in the title battle. They have the players and the manager who have done it before in their tussles with Liverpool. They can also make it count on the goal difference -- they beat Brentford by scoring three times and conceding zero. It's not in their hands, but Guardiola and his team have the experience to bank on and can seize the moment if a faint possibility arises in the upcoming games.
