Preview for Arsenal – Crystal Palace
The Gunners may have started their season on a sour note, but they’ve really turned their fortunes around. They have been undefeated for a while and are expected to continue that streak against Crystal Palace, who has only one win in this entire league campaign.
The last match had ended with a 1-3 victory for Arteta’s men.
They had recorded 18 of the previous 21 victories overall.
They had scored two or more goals in six of the last eight games.
At this venue, the hosts had scored two or more goals in 11 of the previous 15 meetings.
The Gunners were limited to a goalless draw on the final day of the game on the road through Brighton. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace drew 2-2 at home, against Leicester.
Moving on, Arsenal are on a six-game unbeaten streak, and five of those were wins. They had scored three or more goals in three of these matches, and surprisingly they had let in just one goal from their last six matches combined.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace failed to win in seven of their previous eight matches, and had conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches.
Also note that they have lost all of their road trips this season except for a single game, and have conceded two or more in all of their away games this season regardless of a single game.
Taking into account these observations, as well as previous h2h statistics, a victory is expected for Arsenal this Monday at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s men are one of only four teams in the English top flight to have been undefeated in the last four days.
They have a perfect home win record in this edition of the PL, except for their match against the reigning European champions, Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Palace has a single win to their name all season in all competitions, and this single win came while they had a numerical advantage on the field due to a red card.
They also have a 100% loss record on the road in 2021-22, not taking into account their draw against West Ham two months ago.
