Verdict

Reason:

After winning 4 matches back-back out of five, Arsenal thumped the Eagle 5-0 on their last visit to North London. Crystal Palace have picked up just two points on the road so far in the league, but they have won twice away in the EFL Cup. Hence they will be desperate to secure another scalp in this competition by upsetting the Gunners, hence they need a solid game plan. They must put pressure on Palace and score early to control possession of the ball, and it is hard to see Palace escaping this one. Arsenal will be keen to progress in this competition with a victory in front of their fans. With such a conclusion, we see no otherwise than a win for Arsenal to win the next fixture with a probability of a 3-1or 3-0 scoreline
