Arsenal will be looking to keep pace with Liverpool in the Premier League title race and they have a tough away day this weekend at Crystal Palace. The Gunners have huffed and puffed this season, missing plenty of key men through injury and the rigours of fighting on four fronts looks to be taking its toll. Palace meanwhile are improving under Oliver Glasner, and they will be up for this challenge in front of their home fans.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner deserves huge credit for the way he has been able to turn the tide at Crystal Palace of late and the Eagles should be super confident here. A 3-1 win at rivals Brighton last time out will fill the whole playing squad with huge belief that they can climb out of the bottom half as the campaign develops. This is always a tough game against Arsenal, but Palace tend to play their best stuff in front of their passionate home fans.
Team news: Chadi Riad, Adam Wharton and Mateus Franca will all miss out here for Palace.
Crystal Palace Predicted Lineup:
Henderson, Munoz, Guehi, Chalobah, Lacroix, Mitchell, Hughes, Lerma, Eze, Sarr & Mateta.
Arsenal
Back to back draws have seen Arsenal lose a spot of ground in the Premier League title race and the Gunners do look to be lacking a touch of attacking flair currently. Mikel Arteta looks to be searching for his very best team, and the Gunners need to find form over the busy festive period. They remain one of the toughest nuts to crack in the Premier League though and a couple of wins would put them back into the title race in the eyes of most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out here for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Kiwior, Merino, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz, Saka & Martinelli.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be a fantastic contest at Selhurst Park, and the atmosphere should be at fever pitch. There is belief in the Palace side once more, with some improved results of late and they won’t be fearing this test with Arsenal as much as they were just a couple of weeks ago. The Gunners need a win though, having drawn their last two and they should just about get over the line here.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 5/8 (-125) – Rhino Bet.
