Matchday 1 of the new Premier League season sees Arsenal pay Crystal Palace a visit at the Selhurst Park in what promises to be a gruelling affair.

Crystal Palace managed to end up number 12 on 48 points last season. As mentioned, they face Arsenal, who came in as number 5 on 69 points last season.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Crystal Palace and Arsenal are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Selhurst Park as the teams look to get one over each other.

Crystal Palace are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They claimed a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 goals per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents eight goals, or an average of 0.8 goals a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to five clean sheets in this run.

When it comes to goal-scoring Arsenal are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 17 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.7 goals per game. They conceded 17 goals for an average of 1.7 a game, achieving a clean sheet in zero of these matches.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Preview

Crystal Palace delivered a bit of everything as their last three matches added four points to their tally. An encounter with Aston Villa brought a 1-1 draw, which was followed by a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Everton. Their most recent game had them back on the winning trail, as they beat Manchester United by 1-0. Crystal Palace won three of their previous six matches at Selhurst Park in the Premier League. They drew three and suffered zero defeats, scoring six goals to one against.

A mid-table finish looks like the optimal outcome for Crystal Palace in a season where they aim to keep the relegation line at bay in the Premier League.

Arsenal won twice, while also recording zero draws, and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says 12 goals conceded and six scored.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top 3 finish does not look beyond The Gunners, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

Crystal Palace don't score many goals but, they are equally tough to crack down. This makes for a low scoring match, when Arsenal come visiting this coming Friday.
