Arsenal v Crystal Palace Preview
Arsenal’s Form
Ahead of the 24/25 season, there seemed to be a growing pressure on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side to land a “major” trophy following finishing the 23/24 season trophyless for the fourth successive time. The improvements under Arteta have been considerable but another trophy is required to continue that upward trajectory. Following their exceptional Champions League showing they continued their form at the weekend with a win over Ipswich to stay 13 points behind Liverpool.
At the weekend they were dominant against Ipswich with 75% of possession they had 24 shots for an XG of 2.55 but were able to turn it into a 0-4 victory which demonstrated how ruthless they were against the relegation imminent side. However, the story coming from the game was Saka leaving the game in the 57th minute following another injury.
They stand little chance of catching Liverpool in the Premier League but this will serve as their last game before their Champions League semi-final first leg at the Emirates against PSG.

Crystal Palace’s Form
Following their managerial upheaval last season since the appointment of Oliver Glasner on the 19th of February they’ve maintained their consistency. This reached the quarter-final of the EFL Cup earlier this season and even have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa to look forward to at the weekend. In the league with 5 games remaining, they’re 12th and stand within a chance of another top-half finish.
Last weekend they held onto a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth at Selhurst Park following Chris Richards red card in the 45th +1 minute. While they only had 27% of possession and 5 shots for an XG of 0.37 they managed to restrict Bournemouth to just an XG of 0.72 from 15 shots. Though due to circumstances it was a decent result I made it 3 matches without a win.
How Palace tactically approach this Derby will be interesting with them having an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to at the weekend. However, if they start with their strongest side a front three of Sarr, Eze and Mateta will be very dangerous on the break.

Key Players To Watch
Leonardo Trossard - Arsenal
Since signing from Brighton ahead of the 22/23 season, Trossard has played several different squad roles from impact sub to starter playing all across the front five attacking position but predominately as an LW, he has amassed 27 goals and 21 assists from 120 games.
This season he has played a quietly effective role with 9 goals and 6 assists in 49 matches. With Saka likely to be out again his importance is heightened and he is priced at 11/2 to be the first goal scorer and 15/8 to score anytime.
Trossard first goal - 11/2
Jean Phillipe Mateta -Crystal Palace
The Frenchman Is a versatile attacker best known for his strong, direct style of player particularly being able to create space for his teammates through his hold-up play but he always remains a competent finisher.
One of the most underrated strikers in the Premier League and this season he has scored 16 times and assisted 3 from 39 games in all competitions. If you fancy him to score in this game he is 10/1 to score first and 10/3 to score anytime.
Mateta anytime goal - 10/3
Arsenal v Crystal Palace Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Crystal Palace
Arsenal have no room for a slip-up in these final few weeks and I expect a thoroughly professional job.
Crystal Palace may have one eye at the weekend so even if they don’t rotate you can expect their main men to be removed promptly come the second half.
A home victory is the only way I can see this game going.
