The highly anticipated Premier League encounter, Crystal Palace vs Arsenal takes place at Selhurst Park. With both teams carrying contrasting momentum into the match, this promises to be an electrifying fixture for fans and bettors alike.

Recent Form and Prospects of Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace comes into this match on the back of a really disappointing League Cup home loss to Arsenal 3-2. Its Premier League campaign shows the semblance of resurgence of late. Currently in the 15th spot with 16 points, Palace has garnered three wins, seven draws, and six defeats. The recent form – like a 3-1 league win over Brighton, outlines how this club is able to rebound well.

Key stats for Crystal Palace:

• Scoring Streak: Palace have scored in each of their last six matches, netting 10 goals during this period.
• Home Performance: Unbeaten at home in two latest League matches, they recorded but just one home league win for this season.
• Against Arsenal: Palace have not won any of their last five meetings with the Gunners.

Arsenal’s Dominance and Title Aspirations

Arsenal under Mikel Arteta were still strong, lying third behind Liverpool and Chelsea, showing a really strong combination of defense and attack. Arsenal, with eight wins and six draws and only two losses this season, hope to stay in the title race.

Key stats for Arsenal:

• Defensive Resilience: The Gunners have let in only four goals in the last six matches while netting 11.
• Away Form: Arsenal have not lost any of their last three league away games.
• Head-to-Head: The Gunners have prevailed over Crystal Palace 17 times in the last 29 encounters.
