Arsenal News and Form – Can the Gunners beat Palace?

Arsenal slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United last weekend. That was a poor performance by the Gunners, which saw them have a five match undefeated streak of from snapped. Arsenal have taken a W3 D1 record in their home games this season, winning two of the last three there. Each of the three wins that Arsenal have taken at home have been by a margin of one goal.

Arsenal are defensively fragile. There’s no getting around that. It has been only one clean sheet from them this season, which was in a home win over Bournemouth. The Gunners have scored well, averaging two goals per home game. Three of their four home games this season have made it over 2.5 goals. Even though they are undefeated at home, the Gunners have a half time record of W1 D1 L2 at home in this campaign.

It is just four games this season in which Arsenal have opened the scoring. There are only two teams in the league who have earned more home points than Arsenal have done, heading into the weekend. So that is a good stat in their favour. Arsenal have conceded 80% of their home goals this season in the first 45 minutes of fixtures. Their last three games in the top flight have all, surprisingly, ended under 2.5 goals.
