No repeat of Tuesday night’s wild celebrations after the Premier League title was clinched
The Gunners are away at Crystal Palace on the final day of the season and will finally get their hands on the trophy.
The title was wrapped up on Tuesday night when Manchester City drew with Bournemouth, sparking huge celebrations in north London.
At 5am on Wednesday morning, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber went straight from a London nightclub to the stadium to walk around and continue the celebrations.
However, there will be no repeat of that on Sunday after Arsenal's match away at Palace.
Huge crowds are again expected in north London to mark the day Arsenal finally lift the Premier League trophy again after 22 years, particularly with the boiling weather over the Bank Holiday weekend.
There had been some suggestions on social media that the Arsenal squad might travel from Selhurst Park to the Emirates to join the party.

Standard Sport understands that is not the case and there will be no celebrations at the stadium involving the club.
Arsenal's trophy lift will take place at Selhurst Park around 30 minutes after the match, once Palace have given Oliver Glasner his send-off at the end of his final home match in charge.
The Gunners will then continue any celebrations later in the night privately, rather than staging any sort of trophy lift in north London.
The celebrations with the Arsenal fans are being saved for May 31, when the club's trophy parade will take place the day after the Champions League final.
That will start at 2pm and while the final route has not yet been confirmed, it is understood that it will be a longer parade than seen when the club marked FA Cup wins a decade ago.
Due to a desire to keep crowds as spread out as possible considering the huge turnout that is expected, it is currently unlikely that the players will get off the bus to stage a trophy lift on the day.
