Preview: Maintaining their push for a top four finish in the Premier League is Arsenal‘s sole objective between now and the end of the 2021-22 season. Can Crystal Palace, winless across their last five home league games, knock the Gunners out of their stride when the sides meet in the Monday night fixture?

Crystal Palace – Viera on the cusp of something special?

The Eagles haven’t achieved a single digit finishing position in any of their twelve previous seasons in the Premier League, with their best campaign to date being 2014/15 when they came home in tenth place under Alan Pardew. The following season Palace made the FA Cup final under the same manager. Both achievements can be surpassed by new boss Patrick Viera in only his first term.

After 29 league games of 2021-22, Palace sit 12th on 34 points. Two shy of ninth-placed Aston Villa. While in two weeks time they face Chelsea for a spot in the FA Cup final. That latter prospect makes playing Wilfried Zaha and Michael Olise – their brightest attackers, both of whom are carrying knocks – too big a risk as Viera seeks to go seven unbeaten in all competitions, losing none of the last four league games (W2 D2).

Key Stat: Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their past five Premier League home games (D2 L3), scoring only twice across the last four league fixtures at Selhurst Park having previously netted two or more in four consecutive home matches.

Arsenal – Arteta’s top-four hopefuls to continue excellent away results?

Bukayo Saka’s solitary yet decisive strike in Arsenal’s 1-0 win away to Aston Villa ensured Mikel Arteta’s men entered the international break in fine spirits. It was a ninth league goal of 2021-22 for the incredibly talented 20-year-old, moving him level with another precocious talent, Emile Smith Rowe, as the team’s leading scorer this term. For Arsenal, it represented a sixth win in seven Premier League outings.

Their only blemish in that aforementioned run being the 2-0 home reverse to second in the table Liverpool. In fact, only the top two has beaten the Gunners in their past 13 top-flight matches (W10 D1), and both were at the Emirates. Arsenal are enjoying a rich vein of form on their travels conversely, winning the last five by an aggregate score of 14-3. Helping them establish a three point gap back to Spurs in fifth.

Key Stat: Arsenal are unbeaten across their past four London derbies (W3 D1). Victory at Selhurst Park would see them record three consecutive wins against teams from the English capital for the first time since March 2015.

Crystal Palace Vs Arsenal Betting Advice

Arsenal rarely lose this fixture. They have lost one of the past nine Premier League meetings (W3 D5) between the sides and only once in their last sixteen encounters held here at Selhurst Park did they depart empty handed (W8 D7). On top of this, their form recently has been imperious. Victory at Aston Villa before the break made it six wins in their last seven. Winning each of the last five away from home.

 

Crystal Palace Vs Arsenal – Key Facts:

  • Arsenal boast a strong record against Crystal Palace. The latter has one win from the last nine Premier League meetings (D5 L3), winning only one of the past 16 top-flight encounters between the sides here at Selhurst Park (D7 L8).
  • Crystal Palace are without a home league win in five (D2 L3). They have managed one goal across all three home meetings with the Premier League’s top three sides this season (the only teams currently higher in the table than Arsenal), losing twice.
  • Arsenal are seeking to win a sixth consecutive Premier League away game, with three of these victories achieved without conceding. Of their 17 league victories this season, 11 were to nil.

 

However, if Mikel Arteta needed evidence of how difficult playing Crystal Palace can be on any given day, the Eagles 0-0 draw against the league leaders, Man City, prior to the break should suffice. The Eagles have beaten Spurs (3-0) and lost narrowly to Chelsea (0-1), Liverpool (1-3) and West Ham (2-3) at home this season. But without key players potentially, this could be another case of nearly but not quite for the hosts.
