Crystal Palace Stats & Team News
Oliver Glasner will take charge of Crystal Palace for the final time at Selhurst Park this weekend. The Eagles have underperformed in the Premier League since securing their spot in the Europa Conference League final, failing to win in their last three, and playing out a 2-2 draw against Brentford last Sunday.
Overall, Palace are winless in their last six in the EPL, but they have also avoided defeat in their last five at Selhurst Park. The Eagles will have bigger assignments this week, meaning that first-team stars such as Adam Wharton, Chris Richards, and Ismaila Sarr are unlikely to be risked on Sunday.
Likely Line-Up:
(3-4-2-1): Benitez (GK); Lerma, Canvot, Riad; Clyne, Kamada, Hughes, Mitchell; Pino, Johnson; Mateta
Arsenal Stats & Team News
This Sunday will be all about getting their hands on the Premier League title for Arsenal. The Gunners have shown excellent character to bounce back from a loss against Man City to win their last four in all competitions. While they haven’t been as attack-minded as other champions, the Gunners have excelled defensively.
Arsenal have won 29 games without conceding in the Premier League this term, and they haven’t faced a single shot on target in six different fixtures. Gabriel Jesus typically thrives on the final day, scoring five goals. The Brazilian could start on Sunday, as Mikel Arteta rests plenty of his main stars ahead of the Champions League final.
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Raya (GK); Mosquera, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Norgaard, Zubimendi; Eze, Jesus, Martinelli
Head-to-Head Trends
- Crystal Palace have lost six of their last seven EPL clashes with Arsenal.
- Arsenal have won ten of their previous 16 trips to Selhurst Park, losing just twice.
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal Picks
This is a fixture that could feasibly be played at half speed, given that both are preparing for European finals. A low-scoring affair is expected, and a draw could be an interesting betting angle with no stakes on the line.
