Arsenal vs Crystal Palace 19.03.2023

League leaders Arsenal will look to tighten their grip atop the standings when they welcome their neighbours Crystal Palace to the Emirates this Sunday. The Gunners are locked in what is now effectively a two horse race for the title with defending champions Manchester City. Despite losing to them a month ago, whilst many pundits expected the Londoners to implode, they have instead showed great grit and poise and even widened the cushion at the top to 5 points after an impresive 5 game winning streak in the league. They certainly looked poised to end nearly two decade wait since they bagged their last title but they need to continue on the same vein of form to do that.

Palace have blown hot and cold. Patrick Vieira has done well to instill his brand of tough, physical play that saw the team string together some good performances earlier in the season. But they have gone cold in recent weeks. A run of just two wins in 9 league games has seent them drop down to the lower half of the table (12th). They lost 1-0 to Brighton last time out which their third loss on the trot and Vieira will look to try and turn things around here.

Arsenal have reserved some of their best football for their home fans. They have turned the Emirates into an absolute fortress and that has been a key part of their title charge this season. They have also dominated their London rivals winning all the derbies this season. We pretty much expect this trend to hold here and we are backing the Gunners to overcome Palace with a margin of at least 2 goals.
