Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Predictions
The recent midweek match highlighted both teams' attacking capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities. Crystal Palace took an early lead, demonstrating their ability to get past Arsenal's defence, while Arsenal's comeback, featuring a hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus, showcased their offensive strength.
I am expecting both teams to score again in this game. Crystal Palace started the season off poorly but are currently on a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. In these five games, both teams have found the net four times.
Arsenal, despite some recent defensive lapses, have consistently found the back of the net, so they should have enough ability to score at least once at Selhurst Park.

Bukayo Saka has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers this season, currently leading the league in assists with 10 in just 14 games. His consistency in creating goal-scoring opportunities has been crucial for Arsenal’s attacking success, and he is central to their style of play, whether through pinpoint crosses, clever through balls, or quick link-up play. Saka’s creativity has made him Arsenal’s most reliable playmaker.
Crystal Palace’s defence, while resilient at times, has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 18 goals in the league so far. They struggled to keep Saka quiet in the midweek Carabao Cup match, where his involvement in Arsenal’s attacking play was evident. With Arsenal likely to dominate possession and push forward, Saka will have ample opportunities to exploit gaps in the Palace defence and set up his teammates.
In addition, Saka’s delivery from set-pieces adds another layer to his assist potential. Palace have conceded several goals from set-pieces this season, and Saka’s ability to deliver high-quality balls into dangerous areas could prove decisive. Given his form and role, Saka registering an assist in this match is a strong possibility.
