Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction: Gunners to add to Palace’s travel woes

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates on Saturday afternoon (12:30) in a return to Premier League action.

The Gunners are in a slump right now, winning just once in their last seven games across all competitions, while Palace were knocked out of the FA Cup by Everton in midweek, but they won their last Premier League outing against Brentford.

Team News

Thomas Partey and Fabio Viera remain sidelined for the Gunners, while Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are away on international duty. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are both doubts for this clash, although if declared fit, the latter should spearhead Arsenal's attack.

As for the visitors, Rob Holding looks set to miss out on a reunion with his former side, while Michael Olise remains absent with a thigh injury and Jordan Ayew is also unavailable due to AFCON commitments.

Match Odds

The Gunners are favourites to win this match at 1/4, while the draw is 9/2 and Palace are 11/1 to take the three points back to Selhurst Park.

Gabriel Jesus is favourite to score anytime at 7/5, and both teams to score can be backed at 5/4.

Arsenal to win and both teams to score @ 23/10

Arsenal have won seven of their 10 home league games this season, including four of their last five.

After a run of just one win in eight Premier League games against Crystal Palace (D5 L2) from 2018-19 to 2021-22, Arsenal have now won each of their last three against the Eagles.

The visitors will set up to frustrate and counter attack in this game, and I think they can get some joy, considering how vulnerable the Gunners have been at the back - they've conceded in seven of 10 home games this term, while Crystal Palace have scored in five of their last six away days.

Bukayo Saka to score anytime @ 13/8

Bukayo Saka is Arsenal's main man, and Mikel Arteta will be hoping that his young talisman can deliver for the hosts here.

He has six goals and six assists this season, and is on penalty duty, so he can add to his scoring tally on Saturday.
