In the upcoming match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, predictions heavily favor Arsenal, with a 63.6% win probability according to pre-match simulations . Historically, Arsenal has dominated this fixture, securing victories in their last six encounters against Palace. The Gunners are currently in exceptional form, remaining unbeaten in their last eleven matches across all competitions . Key players such as Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard have been pivotal to Arsenal’s success this season.
The two sides fought in the Carabao Cup last eight on Wednesday evening, with Arsenal the hosts on that occasion as they progressed to the semi-finals. Gabriel Jesus' hat-trick saw off the Eagles despite a late rally sparked by Eddie Nketiah's goal against his former employers.
Arsenal will fancy of their chances of back-to-back victories over their south London foes, but their recent Premier League form has been far from ideal. Tame draws with Fulham and Everton have seen them lose ground on Chelsea and Liverpool, with victory against the Eagles not enough to usurp either in the table.
While Arsenal will be keen to secure a second-place finish, leading third-place Nottingham Forest by six points, much of their attention has been diverted to a potential maiden UEFA Champions League crown. Following a superb victory over record European champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, the Gunners are now only three games away from UCL glory, and face Paris Saint-Germain over a two-legged semi-final.
Arsenal have hit form at a great time. Heading into this London derby on Wednesday, they are unbeaten in 11 games, winning six of those. The last victory came in a 4-0 thrashing of Ipswich Town on Sunday, with Leandro Trossard grabbing a brace and Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri also finding the net at Portman Road.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-2-3-1): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino, Ødegaard; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
Palace predicted lineup vs Arsenal (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Lerma, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Hughes, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta.
Crystal Palace's recent performance has been less impressive; they sit mid-table and recently played to a goalless draw against Bournemouth . With injuries affecting both squads—Palace missing key player Doucoure—Arsenal appears well-positioned for victory. The significance of this match extends beyond mere points; a Crystal Palace win could delay Liverpool's title confirmation . Fans can watch the match live on Sky Sports Premier League or stream it via the Sky Go app .
