Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Premier League Prediction Match Details
The final curtain of Saturday’s Premier League action will see Arsenal travel to Selhurst Park in London to face London rivals Crystal Palace. Can Palace get revenge for their midweek exit from the Carabao Cup?
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace continue to endure one of their worst starts to a Premier League season as they are currently battling their way from the relegation zone. Palace is beginning to show signs of improvement in recent games, having remained unbeaten in their last five league matches. Over last weekend, the Eagles got their third win of the season by beating Brighton away by a 3-1 scoreline thanks to Trevoh Chalobah scoring the opener before Ismaila Sarr hit a brace. Palace are currently placed at 15th place in the league standings with 16 points, four points ahead of the relegation zone. Oliver Glasner will be hoping his men can avenge their midweek 3-2 defeat in the Carabao Cup quarterfinal at the Emirates Stadium despite taking an early lead in the match.
Oliver Glasner will be hoping his men can improve their home form this season, having won just once of their opening eight Premier League games this season. Their last home league match saw Glasner’s men squander their lead twice but ended up securing a crucial 2-2 draw against the defending champions, Manchester City. This season Palace’s defense has only managed to keep one clean sheet in each of their home games.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal are beginning to show remarkable form since suffering back-to-back defeats in early November, as they are currently unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions. However, last weekend, the Gunners dropped two crucial points in their quest for the title challenge by playing a frustrating goalless draw against Everton at the Emirates Stadium. The North Londoners will now focus their attention on the league as they currently sit third in the league standings with 30 points, four points behind second-place Chelsea and six adrift of table-topper Liverpool, who still have a game at hand.
Mikel Arteta’s men have struggled on the road recently, as the Gunners have only recorded one win in their last five away league games, although they are unbeaten in their last three games. Their most recent away game saw Mikel Arteta’s men rescuing a 1-1 draw against Fulham at the Craven Cottage stadium.
