Match Preview – 20:00 Kick-Off at Selhurst Park, London

Crystal Palace’s midweek defeat to Southampton was their first loss in 5 games, ending an impressive winning streak of 4 matches. Despite their recent good run, the threat of relegation still hangs over Palace - they are 3 points clear of the relegation zone as things stand, having played 2 games less than Swansea City on the 18th. Sam Allardyce’s men have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 outings.

Arsenal have steadied the ship a little following their disastrous start to 2017. They followed up

their draw against Man City with a solid 3-0 at home to West Ham on Wednesday. That clean sheet was only their 2nd in 5 Premier League games. Theo Walcott was on the scoresheet again, making it 4 goals in 5 games in all competitions for the pacey England international.

In the reverse fixture between the sides on January 1, Arsenal beat Crystal Palace 2-0 with goals from Olivier Giroud and Alex Iwobi. In the last 6 meeting between the pair, Arsenal have won 5 with the other game ending all square. Read our Crystal Palace vs Arsenal betting tips below.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Predictions

Although Crystal Palace have won just 4 of their 14 home games in the Premier League this season, Big Sam loves nothing more than giving the bigger sides in the league a bloody nose. With Arsenal likely to be without captain and best defender Laurent Koscielny, there is a real opportunity here for Palace to pick up another unlikely win.

Crystal Palace chances to win outright at odds of 7/2 look good enough to take a punt on with Bet365. Their odds of 6/4 for Christian Benteke to score anytime are also attractive. Arsenal are always susceptible to set plays and regularly look all at sea when teams cross the ball high from wide – in those situations Benteke usually thrives.
