Prediction for Premier League match – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Crystal Palace Double Chance – 1.83

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Crystal Palace +1.0 Goal Handicap – 1.75

Crystal Palace Double Chance

Unbeaten in six games and defeated just once in ten assignments overall, Crystal Palace have momentum behind them ahead of their clash with Arsenal and the Eagles could make life difficult for the Gunners at Selhurst Park. The 2-2 draw between the clubs in October was the fourth time in five encounters where they share the spoils and Patrick Vieira’s Palace are robust enough to claim something from the contest on Monday.

Crystal Palace +1.0 Goal Handicap

Crystal Palace have looked solid defensively in recent weeks and the Eagles shipped just four goals in their last seven Premier League fixtures combined. A +1.0 goal handicap in their favour would have landed in all but one of those matches and a Palace side capable of putting the brakes on Arsenal’s Champions League charge look an interesting prospect in the same market this week.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Monday’s meeting between Crystal Palace and Arsenal at Selhurst Park will be a fixture of special significance for Eagles boss Patrick Vieira.

The Frenchman skippered and represented the Gunners for almost a decade during this playing career, though sentiment will go out the window when his Palace charges welcome his former employers to Croydon.

Arsenal are in pole position to land the final Champions League qualification berth this term thanks to a fine run of six wins in seven games, though Palace have often provided awkward opposition for Mikel Arteta’s troops.

The Gunners needed the latest of 94th minute equalizers from Alexandre Lacazette when they drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium back in October, and that was the fourth time in five encounters between the sides where the points were evenly shared.

The Eagles will be determined to ruffle another feather or two when they host Arsenal for Monday’s rematch and having lost just one of their last ten fixtures in league and cup, Vieira’s in-form minions will be targeting an upset.

Manchester City tried and failed to beat Palace in the last Premier League fixture at Selhurst Park (0-0) and Palace’s well-drilled defensive ranks could frustrate Arsenal in similar fashion this week.

The availability (or unavailability) of Palace talisman Wilfried Zaha could be key after the Ivorian winger picked up an injury on international duty and the home team will need a full complement of first-teamers to match Mikel Arteta’s energetic Arsenal outfit.

However, with Patrick Vieira refusing to rule Zaha out of proceedings, it feels as though the club’s leading scorer will feature and a stake on Crystal Palace in the double chance market feels like an outside bet worth chasing.

Safe Bets

Arsenal will expect to enjoy the lion’s share of possession at Selhurst Park on Monday evening and as such, Palace’s corner count promises to be low. The Eagles have won four or fewer corners in three of their last four home tests and bettors can back them at 1.7 to register less than five of that particular set piece against the Gunners.

Get Quick Rich

For our get rich quick option this week, we’re lining up a 1-1 draw in the correct score market. Crystal Palace have scored exactly once in each of their last two home meetings with Arsenal, while the Gunners have hit the net once in two of their last three league fixtures on the road. When you consider that four of the last five encounters between these London rivals have ended all square, a 1-1 tie looks a fitting option.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal first goalscorer

Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored three times in his last six appearances for Palace and two of the Frenchman’s efforts put the Eagles in front. Mateta’s knack for finding the net at crucial junctures in games marks him out as a potentially profitable option to consider in the first goalscorer market on Monday at 8.0.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Team News

James McArthur and Nathan Ferguson are out injured for Crystal Palace, though Wilfried Zaha, Joel Ward and Michael Olise will hope to be fit enough to play some part against Arsenal.

Bukayo Saka should be back from a COVID-related layoff, while Takehiro Tomiyasu is considered a doubt at right back. Aaron Ramsdale picked up an injury with England and he could be replaced in goal by Bernd Leno.

Starting Lineups

Crystal Palace: Guaita – Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell – Kouyate, Gallagher, Schlupp – Edouard, Zaha, Mateta

Arsenal: Leno – Soares, White, Magalhaes, Tierny – Partey, Xhaka – Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli – Lacazette

Highlighted Player

Bukayo Saka

20-year-old Bukayo Saka has been in scintillating form this season and the versatile Arsenal youngster has chipped in with more goal contributions (14) in the Premier League than any of his teammates this term. Saka has an abundance of match-winning ability and Palace will need to keep him on the periphery of Monday’s game to stand a chance of taking something from it.
