Premier League 2018/19: Week 10 Predictions

Crystal Palace v Arsenal

Arsenal FC v Leicester City - Premier League

After a somewhat traumatic start to the season, Arsenal are now very much the Premier League's form team. Seven successive victories have propelled them rapidly up the table and they now sit only two points behind Man City and Liverpool. Three away wins in a row have yielded ten goals and highlighted Arsenal's sparkling attacking play.

By contrast, Palace cannot buy a win at home. One point from four home goals is not the sort of return they require or expect, particularly when dropping points to bottom half teams such as Newcastle and Southampton.

Arsenal have been the most clinical team in the PL this season, scoring with 41% of their shots on target. They are second only to City in terms of goals scored. In Lacazette and Aubameyang, they have two genuine goal scorers and with the creative play of Ozil behind them, the goals have flowed.

Arsenal have sometimes struggled at Selhurst Park, but the crowd there is no longer as raucous as it has been in years gone by. Palace will depend almost exclusively on Zaha to create and/or score their goals. Arsenal have more variety, creativity and depth to their attacks.

While Arsenal do concede a lot of shots and shots on target, it does not appear that Palace have the personnel to take advantage of this. Given Arsenal's current form and momentum, a 3-1 away win appears a good bet.
