Arsenal face a real test of their character as a resurgent Crystal Palace head to the Emirates today.

Team news
Arsene Wenger insists Sanchez could feature despite the Arsenal manager saying a move to United is "likely" to happen.
Sanchez was left out at Bournemouth as his future remains in doubt, but Wenger could bring him back against the Eagles after he trained with the first team on Friday morning as a potential transfer to Old Trafford rumbles on.
Mesut Ozil is available following a knee problem and defenders Laurent Koscielny and Nacho Monreal (both ankle) are also pushing to return but Olivier Giroud (hamstring) is not in contention while Santi Cazorla (Achilles) is a long-term absentee.
Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Mertesacker, Holding, Mustafi, Koscielny, Chambers, Monreal, Mavropanos, Debuchy, Bellerin, Nelson, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Wilshere, Xhaka, Elneny, Ramsey, Ozil, Iwobi, Sanchez, Welbeck, Lacazette.
Hodgson has a number of injury problems to contend with. Rubewn Loftus-Cheek is a doubt, while Mamadou Sakho (calf), Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp (both ankle) are all out.
Jason Puncheon and Scott Dann are both out for the season with serious knee injuries.
Predicted line-ups
Arsenal XI: Cech, Chambers, Mustafi, Holding, Bellerin, Wilshere, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Iwobi, Welbeck, Lacazette
Palace XI: Hennessey, Fosu-Mensah, Kelly, Tomkins, Van Aanholt, Zaha, Milivojevic, Riedewald, McArthur, Benteke, Sako
