Arsenal arrive with the stronger recent league record, having won four of their last five in the Premier League and kept three clean sheets in that run. Crystal Palace have been harder to trust, with no league win in their last five and three defeats in that sequence, so the visitors look the more reliable side on current evidence. The head-to-head also leans Arsenal’s way, with three wins and a draw in the last five meetings. Match Prediction: Crystal Palace 0-1 Arsenal

That said, Palace have shown they can stay in games, drawing 2-2 with Brentford and Everton in their last five league outings. At Selhurst Park they will look to keep the contest tight, but Arsenal’s recent habit of edging low-scoring matches points towards a narrow away win rather than a high-scoring one. With no xG data available for this fixture, the recent results and head-to-head pattern are the clearest guide.

Form Guide & Team Overview

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace’s recent league form has been mixed and leans negative, with no wins in their last five. They have drawn 2-2 with Brentford and Everton, but also lost 0-3 to Manchester City, 0-3 to AFC Bournemouth and 1-3 to Liverpool.

Across all competitions, the picture is similar, with the only win in that five-game sample coming against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa Conference League. The other results still show a side conceding regularly, which is a concern against an Arsenal team that has been winning tight games.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Crystal Palace (3-4-2-1)

Predicted lineup: Dean Henderson (Goalkeeper), Chadi Riad (Defender), Jaydee Canvot (Defender), Maxence Lacroix (Defender), Adam Wharton (Midfielder), Daichi Kamada (Midfielder), Daniel Muñoz (Midfielder), Tyrick Mitchell (Midfielder), Ismaïla Sarr (Attacker), Jørgen Strand Larsen (Attacker), Yéremy Pino (Attacker)

Crystal Palace’s predicted 3-4-2-1 gives them a compact base with wing-backs able to support both the defence and the attack. It should also allow Ismaïla Sarr and Yéremy Pino to operate between the lines and try to stretch Arsenal’s back four.

Arsenal (4-3-3)

Predicted lineup: David Raya (Goalkeeper), Cristhian Mosquera (Defender), Gabriel Magalhães (Defender), Riccardo Calafiori (Defender), William Saliba (Defender), Declan Rice (Midfielder), Eberechi Eze (Midfielder), Martin Ødegaard (Midfielder), Bukayo Saka (Attacker), Kai Havertz (Attacker), Leandro Trossard (Attacker)

Arsenal’s predicted 4-3-3 should give them a balanced structure, with Declan Rice anchoring midfield and Martin Ødegaard linking play ahead of him. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard can provide width and direct running, while Kai Havertz offers a central reference point.
