Match preview: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Arsenal and Crystal Palace meet at Emirates Stadium for their 34th round fixture in the Premier League. In their previous encounter this season, Arsenal won convincingly (5-1) on 21 December 2024. Historically at this ground, the Gunners have had the upper hand, securing 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 meetings. Notably, when they last clashed here on 18 December 2024, Arsenal triumphed (3-2) in the League Cup, with Gabriel Jesus scoring a hat-trick. Home advantage may prove significant, given the differences in home and away performances for both teams.
Team analysis: Arsenal
Currently sitting in 2nd place with 66 points from 18 wins, 12 draws, and 3 losses, Arsenal has shown strong form lately. Following a 1-1 draw against Brentford at home, they bounced back to beat Ipswich Town (4-0) in their latest outing. Interestingly, they have been more successful away from home, boasting a record of 9 wins, 5 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 30 matches. At home, their recent Premier League form includes 6 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last 10 matches. Arsenal’s strength lies in their consistent scoring ability, having found the net in 8 of their last 10 league games. However, they’ve faced difficulties after conceding the first goal, managing to turn things around only 3 times out of 9. They have also been solid defensively, having conceded 5 of their 13 home goals between the 46th and 60th minutes.
On the back of their recent resounding win against Ipswich, where Ethan Nwaneri, Leandro Trossard, and Gabriel Martinelli all scored, Arsenal typically operate in a 4-3-3 setup. Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri lead their attack, with Martin Ødegaard orchestrating play from midfield. Injuries to Jorginho, Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magallanes, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Gabriel Jesus may impact the team’s depth.
Team analysis: Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace is currently positioned 12th in the league with 44 points from 11 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses. They suffered a heavy defeat (0-5) to Newcastle United before managing a 0-0 draw against AFC Bournemouth in their last match. Interestingly, their away form has been relatively stronger, where they achieved 9 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses over their last 30 outings. In Premier League competition, they managed to collect 20 points from a possible 30 in recent away fixtures (6 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses). They typically trail at half-time, having recorded 7 scoreless first halves in 16 away games.
Crystal Palace enters this fixture following a goalless draw against Bournemouth. Under the guidance of Oliver Glasner, they employ a tactical 3-4-3 formation, focusing on well-organised transitions primarily down the centre. The trio of Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze, and Jean-Philippe Mateta are the ones leading the charge upfront. Absences due to suspension and injury, including Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Cheick Doucouré, and Chadi Riyadh, could prove challenging for their squad depth.
