Arsenal vs Crystal Palace predictions

Arsenal are in a commanding position going into the Christmas break with two points on Man City as they lead the Premier League table as well as three points ahead atop the Champions League standings in the League Phase.

They now come into the EFL Cup final eight looking to make a big case for multiple trophies this season.

They’re unbeaten in the UCL and have only lost twice this season, which doesn’t bode well for Palace, who have suffered seven defeats in their last eight fixtures against the Gunners.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace betting tips

Head-to-head in favour of Gunners

Arsenal have won seven of their last eight games against Palace in all competitions and the other game ended in a draw.

Making them go on a huge unbeaten run against their London rivals.

They’ve already beaten Palace 1-0 this season in the Premier League but that was a close game that could see a similar outcome in such a big quarter-final clash.

Starting XI’s shake up

With so many games around this time of year a few changes to the starting XI for each side is expected.

But Palace have been busier than most and will likely be seeing a fair few changes to their usual Premier League squad.

But the likes of Eberechi Eze could stay in Arsenal’s lineup to face his former side.

Gabriel Martinelli has been showing glimpses of what he’s capable of this season too, with a few phenomenal goals and could be amongst the involvements in this evening clash too after impressing in the Champions League the other day.
