Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Prediction

Crystal Palace Form

Crystal Palace currently look solid, going undefeated in three matches, which started by drawing 2-2 against Fulham. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 encounter, before beating Sheffield United in a 0-1 encounter. Crystal Palace won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored nine and conceded six goals.

A top half finish is the dream for Crystal Palace, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the Premier League.

Arsenal Form

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Wolverhampton by 5-0. This was followed by a 1-1 with Manchester City and a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest. Arsenal, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the Premier League.

Arsenal will have their sight set on grabbing the trophy, while a place in the top two look a likely prospect before the Premier League gets rolling.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Crystal Palace renew Arsenal their acquaintance.
