Arsenal are doing their best to recreate the old ‘Invincibles’ aura of their last title triumph by rattling off a series of clean-sheet victories this season.
However, Crystal Palace netted five times in three meetings with the Gunners last term, including a 2-2 draw at Emirates Stadium, so a more expansive approach may be required this Sunday.
We like a BOYLE Sports price boost of 5/2 for a home win and both teams to score as our first Arsenal vs Crystal Palace prediction.

Head-to-Head Record
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Head-to-head Record
The Eagles showed lots of their trademark spirit when twice coming from behind to earn a point at this venue in April, but Arsenal usually have the upper hand.
Mikel Arteta’s men had romped to a 5-1 win at Selhurst Park four months earlier in what was a sixth consecutive victory over Palace.
Leandro Trossard has scored in the last two league meetings at Emirates Stadium and is in decent form on that front this term, so 2/1 for him to net at any time catches the eye from the Arsenal vs Crystal Palace odds.

The Gunners have established a three-point lead at the top of the table by grinding out three straight wins in this competition over Newcastle, West Ham and Fulham.
However, Tuesday’s 4-0 Champions League triumph versus Atletico Madrid had far more of a wow-factor and all the signs are that this really could be their season.
The “icing on the cake” in midweek was summer signing Viktor Gyokeres ending his seven-game goal drought with a second-half brace.
Arteta beamed: “He makes us a much better team. We’ve become much more unpredictable. He’s so physical and the way he presses the ball, and holds the ball, that’s phenomenal.
“And then the icing on the cake is the goals. He’s scored two very different ones today, and hopefully he starts to get some momentum now and goes on a good run.”
All four Arsenal goals came after the break, which means 18 of this season’s 25 strikes have come in the second period, so 20/21 for that half to have the most goals in this game is clearly a percentage pick.

After going unbeaten throughout their first 11 outings this term, Palace have just suffered a little blip.
Following a 2-1 loss at Everton, they had to fight back from 2-0 down at the interval to draw 3-3 with Bournemouth and were then beaten 1-0 at home by AEK Larnaca in Europe’s Conference League.
Oliver Glasner pointed to Palace’s lack of “efficiency” on Thursday, adding it felt like “deja vu” that his side lacked the finishing touch, as they did when fluffing a number of early chances against the Toffees.
However, the head coach vowed to address the issue in a positive manner, adding: “If we have five clear chances and don’t score, we will try to create seven, eight or nine the next time.”
Jean-Philippe Mateta came closest when clipping the crossbar after previously hitting a hat-trick against Bournemouth.
The France forward was on target at this venue last season and 11/4 for him to get on the scoresheet again is tempting enough to feature in our Arsenal vs Crystal Palace betting tips.
