Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace preview

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium for a London derby where recent history heavily favors the Gunners, who've won their last six encounters while netting a remarkable 20 goals against the Eagles.

Mikel Arteta's men enter this fixture in formidable form, unbeaten in 11 competitive matches and fresh off a commanding 4-0 dismantling of Ipswich Town where Leandro Trossard continued his hot streak with a clinical brace.

Palace, meanwhile, appear to be limping toward the season's finish line, having been thrashed 5-0 at Newcastle recently and failing to register a single shot on target in their goalless draw with Bournemouth.

The Eagles' defensive woes are compounded by Chris Richards' suspension following his red card against the Cherries, giving Trossard and Martinelli ample opportunity to exploit a backline that's leaked five goals in each of their last two Premier League games against Arsenal.

While the Gunners' title hopes remain mathematically alive but realistically distant, Arteta will be keen to maintain momentum ahead of their upcoming Champions League semi-final, despite missing six key players including Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Riccardo Calafiori through injury.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace betting tips

Arsenal Over 1.5 Team Goals (8/13)

Crystal Palace @ Arsenal

Arsenal have shown impressive attacking form lately, putting four past Ipswich at the weekend and scoring at least twice in three of their last four competitive fixtures.

Crystal Palace's defensive fragility has been evident in their recent away performances, conceding five goals in each of their last two road games.

The historical matchup heavily favors Arsenal's attack, with the Gunners finding the net twice or more in five of their last six meetings against Palace.

Palace have conceded a concerning 20 goals across their last six encounters with Arsenal, suggesting a fundamental mismatch between these sides.

With Arsenal pushing to maintain their title challenge, expect Arteta's men to continue their free-scoring form against a Palace defense that has repeatedly struggled to contain them.

Leandro Trossard To Score Anytime (21/10)

Crystal Palace @ Arsenal

Leandro Trossard has hit a rich vein of form in front of goal, netting twice against Ipswich last weekend to make it three goals in his last three Premier League appearances.

The Belgian international already has a successful track record against Crystal Palace, having scored in Arsenal's 5-0 thrashing of the Eagles at the Emirates last season.

Trossard's overall tally of nine goals in all competitions demonstrates his consistent threat in the final third throughout the campaign.

His recent performances suggest he's peaking at the perfect time as Arsenal push for the title in the season's closing stages.

With Crystal Palace's defensive vulnerabilities on full display in recent away matches, Trossard is perfectly positioned to capitalize and add to his impressive scoring record.

Will Hughes To Be Shown A Card (6/4)

Crystal Palace @ Arsenal

Will Hughes has been one of the Premier League's most cautioned players this season with 11 yellow cards, second only to Fulham's Sasa Lukic despite starting just 21 matches.

The combative Crystal Palace midfielder has shown a particular tendency to collect bookings on his travels, with six of his cards coming in away fixtures.

Hughes' disciplinary record has worsened recently, picking up four bookings in his last eight Premier League appearances, including his most recent away match at Newcastle.

Arsenal's quick, technical midfield presents a significant challenge for Hughes, who may struggle to contain their movement without infringing.

The high-stakes nature of the match for Arsenal could increase the intensity and tempo, putting additional pressure on opposition midfielders like Hughes who already have disciplinary issues.
