Returning from a two-week hiatus with the intention of ending a three-game losing run, Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Saturday lunchtime, when London rivals Crystal Palace stop over at the Emirates.
The Gunners have been soaking up the Dubai sun since being dumped out of the FA Cup by Liverpool in the third round, while the Eagles are also reeling from a knockout defeat, losing their replay to Everton on Wednesday night.
We say: Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace
A goal-shy Arsenal could not have wished for a more opportune time to relax and reset after a gruelling and ultimately unsuccessful winter period, and the expected return of Jesus will also give the hosts a bit more bite in the final third.
In contrast, Palace's attacking deficiencies seem set to continue while Olise remains in the medical bay, and with midweek fatigue also working against them, Hodgson's men should fall short as Arsenal reignite their title charge.

Having come out on opposite ends of 3-2 scorelines in their FA Cup third-round replays, Brentford and Nottingham Forest now turn their attention to Saturday's Premier League battle at the Gtech Community Stadium.
While the Bees' FA Cup journey came to an end in a five-goal thriller against Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Tricky Trees emerged victorious from a 120-minute scrap with Blackpool on Wednesday.
We say: Brentford 1-1 Nottingham Forest
Yet to draw a blank or keep a clean sheet during the embryonic stages of Santo's reign, such a theme should continue for Forest at the Gtech Community Stadium, where the eligible-again Toney has lost time and lost goals to make up for.
While Brentford have had the luxury of an extra recovery day, absentees are continuing to hit Frank's off-colour troops hard, but Forest's own selection concerns means that both sides may have to be content with a point this weekend.
