Arsenal’s title hopes may be fading, but there’s still fire left in the Gunners’ camp. As they gear up to face Crystal Palace at the Emirates, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A loss here could see Liverpool officially crowned Premier League champions. However, Mikel Arteta’s men are determined not to go down without a fight, especially in front of their home fans.
The Gunners’ form at home has been nothing short of dominant. They’ve lost just three of their last 36 home league games (W26, D7). But London derbies have been tricky, with two of those defeats coming against West Ham. Still, Arsenal thrashed Ipswich 4-0 in their last match and are currently on an 11-match unbeaten streak across all competitions (W6, D5).
🦅 Palace’s Pride: Looking to Ruffle Feathers
Crystal Palace has shown resilience under Oliver Glasner. After back-to-back thrashings by Man City and Newcastle, they managed a gritty 0-0 draw with Bournemouth, even with ten men for half the game.
That result took their tally for 2025 to 24 points (W7, D3, L4), ranking them among the top-performing sides this year. Glasner’s men are also chasing a rare record — a third consecutive London derby win away from home, something they last achieved in the ‘90s!
🎯 Key Players to Watch
- Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal): The Brazilian winger loves playing against Palace. He’s scored five goals in his last five league games against the Eagles, including two late goals in last season’s 5-0 win.
- Jean-Philippe Mateta (Palace): The French striker has found form in big matches, with four goals and one assist in his last seven London derbies.
🔢 Stat Zone
- Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 42 home league games when scoring first (W36, D6).
- Arsenal have scored five goals in each of their last two league games against Palace.
- Palace haven’t won three straight away London derbies since 1997.
🧠 Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Crystal Palace
Expect goals. Arsenal’s attack is firing, and with their home form this strong, they’ll be hard to stop. Palace will put up a fight, but Martinelli and company should prove too strong. However, don’t rule out a Palace goal — Mateta is in the mood for derby drama.
