Arsenal vs Crystal Palace.
In order to prepare for Crystal Palace's visit on Sunday, Mikel Arteta must help the team bounce back. In second position, Manchester City is five points behind the Gunners. As City will play in the FA Cup this weekend, Arsenal has the opportunity to pass City by eight points.
In a relegation fight, Crystal Palace has slept-walked. As Palace is still having difficulty in the Premier League, Patrick Vieira's project is failing. In the Premier League, Palace is on a three-game losing run. They are only three points above the drop zone going into the weekend.
Earlier this year at Selhurst Park, Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace 2-0. First-half goals from Marc Guehi and Gabriel Martinelli gave the game its first goal.
With only three points from its previous six games, Crystal Palace is at the bottom of the form table. The past four games Palace played ended in defeats. In their previous three Premier League games, the Eagles suffered 1-0 losses in each one.
Only two of their away games this season have seen victory for Vieira's squad. With just nine goals scored, the Eagles have a 2W-4D-7L record.
As a result of a hamstring strain, Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vincente Guaita will not play. A calf issue will keep Sam Johnstone out of the game. Will Hughes, a midfielder, may not play because of an illness.
For this prediction: Arsenal to win this match or a draw.
