Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Predictions

• Arsenal have scored 20 goals in their last six meetings with Crystal Palace.
• Crystal Palace have conceded five goals in each of their last two away games.
• Crystal Palace have conceded five goals in each of their last two Premier League meetings with Arsenal.

Gunners look to keep standards high

Arsenal did a demolition job on the Championship-bound Ipswich on Sunday, and they are backed to further boost morale ahead of their Champions League semi-final next week when they host Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

With a 13-point deficit to Liverpool and five games remaining, the Gunners’ Premier League title chances are purely mathematical, but Mikel Arteta will be keen to keep standards high as they battle for a maiden Champions League triumph.

They head into Wednesday’s tie unbeaten in 11 competitive games and are justified favourites against a declining Crystal Palace side.

Eagles have their wings clipped

Sitting 12th in the table, Oliver Glasner’s side have little to play for in the remaining weeks of the season, and that has shown over the last few games.

They have been demolished away to Manchester City and Newcastle since the start of April and failed to make an impression at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, and recent meetings with Arsenal have not been kind to them.

Trossard to contribute to Crystal Palace mauling

They have lost their last six encounters with the Gunners and conceded 20 goals in the process, shipping multiple goals in five of these. After their showings at the Etihad and St James’ Park, backing Arsenal to score at least twice looks excellent value.

The hosts turned on the style at Ipswich on Sunday and Crystal Palace have conceded five times in each of their last two home games. They have also conceded five in each of their last two Premier League meetings with Arsenal, so a small punt on a mammoth 5-0 victory looks worthwhile.

Leandro Trossard scored in Crystal Palace’s last Premier League trip to the Emirates, and the Belgium international has been in good form lately. He scored twice at Portman Road to make it three goals in his last three Premier League appearances, so he’s a good option for anytime goalscorer punters.
