LiontipsArsenal vs Crystal Palace. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (October 18, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last season Arsenal finished 8th in the English Premier League and for the first time in many years, the team was left without European football. This means, that now Arsenal can focus entirely on the domestic tournaments. The board spent over 100 million euros on new players, but such an enormous investment is yet to pay off.
Arsenal reached the last 16 in the EFL League Cup, defeating West Brom (6:0) AFC Wimbledon (3:0) in the first rounds. In the Premier League, the Gunners have earned 10 points (3 victories and 1 draw), which puts them in 13th place in the standings. After winning three games in a row against Norwich (1:0), Burnley (1:0), and Tottenham (3:1), Arsenal recorded a goalless draw with Brighton.
The weakest link of the team so far is the attacking line. The Gunners have scored only 5 goals in 7 rounds.
Xhaka and Martinelli are unavailable for Arsenal this week.
Crystal Palace haven't won any titles for a while now. Last summer the club set a goal to get into the European club competition, but at the moment they are far from reaching that goal.
Patrick Vieira's charges were knocked out of the EFL League Cup right at the start after losing to Watford (0:1). The Glaziers haven't been successful in the Premier League either. After seven rounds, they have 7 points (1 victory and 4 draws) and sit in 14th place in the table. After their triumph over Tottenham (3:0), the Glaziers recorded two draws with Brighton (1:1) and Leicester (2:2).
Today Crystal Palace will be without Fergusson and Eze.
