In potentially the weekend’s most interesting fixture, Arsenal host Crystal Palace in a North/South London clash. Arsenal approach Sunday’s game in irresistible form.

Arsenal will have to be at their best to comfortably best Oliver Glasner’s side.

Guns Blazing

Having dismantled Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid this week, winning 6 of their last 6 and currently siting on 19 points from a possible 24, most will back the Gunners to claim 3 points. Sunday will also see former Crystal Palace favourite, Eberechi Eze, involved against his old club for the first time. He will be eager to make his mark on the game, with a strong chance of starting the match in Arsenal’s midfield.

Palace Poised to Disarm Arsenal?

Crystal Palace, however, have been a surprise package in the Premier League this season. Despite coming into Sunday’s trip to the Emirates off the back of a frustrating loss at Everton and a bizarre, all-action draw at home to high flying Bournemouth, Palace still pack a significant punch and can beat anyone on their day. In form striker Jean Philippe Mateta will be exuding confidence on the back of a first French national team call up and an impressive hat trick last weekend. His new international teammate, William Saliba, will be fully aware of the threat that the 28 year old poses. Having already knocked Liverpool off their perch at Selhurst Park last month, Palace will be confident of providing the weekend’s shock result.

Eagles Breaking New Ground

Although Palace are capable of outgunning the likes of Arsenal, a big factor to consider in this one is their loss to Cypriot side, AEK Larnaca, on Thursday night. Whilst Palace are matched up against inferior opposition, their squad is inexperienced in Europe and playing two important games in three days is not something they are accustomed to. For Arsenal, the extra rest days will be significant. They are not new to the fixture congestion of European Football.

Head To Head

The head to head does not make pleasant reading for Palace fans. Since Glasner took over in February 2024, his side have mostly struggled to cope with Arsenal’s firepower.  In the most recent meeting of the two sides, however, Palace managed to steal a late 2-2 draw at the Emirates, with goals from the aforementioned Eze and Mateta. Whilst this may suggest a close, exciting game with success for both sides, Arsenal’s imperious defence poses even more of a task for Palace as their dynamic front line does.  This is supported by the fact that Arsenal demolished Sunday’s opponents 5-1 in the reverse fixture last season. Palace need a performance that resembles their early season form to rattle the table toppers.

Our Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Betting Tip

With both sides having contrasting fortunes midweek in Europe, an intriguing game is in store. Let’s look at the Premier League betting odds.

Defences On Tops

Arsenal's defence is one of the meanest in the division, conceding just three goals in eight Premier League games, as well shutting out Athletic Bilbao, Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Against a Palace side that failed to score against Cypriot minnows AEK Larnaca, Arsenal should keep another clean sheet at The Emirates.
