against Crystal Palace shouldn't be a big deal. But maybe Arsenal will find it difficult to score many goals. Arsenal will probably win but with a narrow score.
Everything seems to be like a big deal to Arsenal right now because both at the FA Cup and the Premier league, they have not really performed up to par. The last four previous matches were not pleasing at all for the club as they failed to win their matches against Liverpool, which was a draw in the Premier leaague, they also failed to win against West Ham with a 0 - 2 lost to West Ham in the Premier league, another failure to win against Fulham with a 2 over 1 in the Premier league, with the fourth failure against Liverpool again in the FA Cup to 0 - 2.
What hope do you have over them winning Crystal Palace this time around? Besides in their last fixturings they have not impressively won over Crystal Palace too. They have been draws and lost to Crystal Palace in between their last 5 fixtures.
Now Arsenal have dropped down to the 4th position in the table standing with 40 points and 5 point difference between the table leads who are the Liverpool. I'm not happy with this result at all as the late crippling misperformance of the Arsenal. Could it be that the squad is weak and can't perform up to the ranks.
This time Arsenal also experienced some bad matches. But statistically we can see that there is an improvement in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match in the FA Cup. At that time Arsenal had more opportunities and almost broke into Liverpool's goal several times. It's just that Liverpool's defense is much stronger. And Arsenal also have problems in finishing. But for the match against Crystal Palace, I think Arsenal will succeed in converting some of their attacks into goals.
Moreover, this is a home match. Ranked 4th vs ranked 14th, I think it's natural that Arsenal is the favourite. Even though it is experiencing setbacks. Crystal Palace even just lost to Everton. This adds to my confidence in Arsenal.
