Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction, Team News and Head-to-Head

Arsenal are arguably the most dangerous team in Europe at the moment, and their 3-point lead at the top of the Premier League is totally justified.

However, Crystal Palace are formidable opponents, especially coming off their mid-week defeat in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Arsenal are in fantastic form, winning six matches on the spin across all competitions, including impressive wins against Newcastle, West Ham and Fulham, which has helped them establish a 3-point lead at the top of the table.

Arteta's side were 4-0 winners against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League during the week, so confidence should be high, while Palace were also in European action, suffering a surprise home defeat to AEK Larnaca in the Conference League.

Arsenal have relied on an extraordinary defence to push their title charge, conceding just 3 goals in their 8 matches so far. They have also continued their remarkable knack of converting set-pieces, and there is real optimism about their chances of winning the league title this season.

Palace started the season strongly, but their involvement in continental football with a small squad has started to derail their ambitions on the domestic front.

Arsenal have won six of the last seven meetings, drawing the most recent clash 2-2 at the Emirates last season.

They have lost just one of the last 16 clashes they hosted (W9, D6).

Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes was forced off late in the win over Atletico and could be rested for this one, with Cristhian Mosquera likely pulled in as a replacement.

The likes of Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus remain ruled out with knee injuries.

Palace are likely to stick with a similar team to the one that lined up against Larnaca, although Chris Richards is set to replace Jaydee Canvot after the young defender's mistake led to the only goal of Thursday's contest.

Arsenal; 4-3-3 - Raya; Timber, Saliba, Mosquera, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli

Crystal Palace; 3-4-3 - Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Pino, Sarr; Mateta

Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League right now and will be heavy favourites to make it 7 wins on the spin, especially at home, where they have been formidable.

The Gunners also appear to be facing Palace at the right time as Oliver Glasner's men seem to be wobbling, clearly struggling to cope with the demands of playing in multiple competitions.

Palace are never blown away, and have shown a penchant for fighting till the end, but bet on Livescorebet that Arsenal should have enough to win.
