Arsenal vs Crystal Palace prediction: Gunners should be in command

Key Stats

• Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has scored six goals in nine previous appearances against Crystal Palace.
• Four of the last five meetings between Arsenal and Crystal Palace have featured over 2.5 goals.
• Arsenal have lost only one of their 16 home assignments in the Premier League so far this season.

Correct score prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Crystal Palace

Arsenal are chasing a seventh straight win over Palace and they are backed to beat an unmotivated Eagles outfit here. The Gunners have already scored eight times across two previous encounters with Palace this season in league and cup, and they can coast to victory at their expense again on Wednesday.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Arsenal are clear favourites

• HOME: 21/50 (1.42) – 70.4%
• DRAW: 15/4 (4.75) – 21.1%
• AWAY: 13/2 (7.50) – 13.3%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Arsenal eased to a 4-0 win over ten-man Ipswich at the weekend and the Gunners, who are 21/50 favourites to triumph on Wednesday, are now unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions.

Crystal Palace held Bournemouth to a 0-0 draw at the weekend, though the Eagles lost heavily to Man City (5-2) and Newcastle (5-0) before that, so it comes as little surprise to see them priced as 13/2 outsiders here.

Player to watch – Gabriel Martinelli

Winger Gabriel Martinelli has played himself into some good late-season form for Arsenal and the Brazilian will be aiming to score for the third game in a row for the Gunners when he faces Crystal Palace in midweek.

Martinelli enjoys facing Palace

Martinelli should be in a confident mood following his recent goal-scoring exploits, while the wide attacker’s track record against Palace is also cause for optimism. The 23-year-old has scored a superb six goals in nine previous appearances against the Eagles, so don’t be surprised if Martinelli makes his mark again on Wednesday.
