Crystal Palace – Arsenal. Prediction and announcement for the match of the championship of England

On December 21, “Selhurst Park” will host a match of the 17th round of the English Premier League, in which “Crystal Palace” will meet with Arsenal. The match will start at 18:30 European time.

Crystal Palace

The team, having changed Hodgson to Glasner a little less than a year ago, showed nice football and serious results in the spring. So the new season was eagerly awaited here. Well, the eagles are really fighting, but not for European cups, but for simple survival. It is difficult to count on something more when only a few victories can be won before the winter. On the other hand, the capital club cannot be called an outsider either. He showed himself well in the League Cup as well, beating Aston Villa after Norwich and QPR. Only Arsenal, and even then with a score of 3:2, knocked the club out of further competition during the week. And in the championship, after a failure at the start, with three points after 8 rounds, it is possible to avoid defeats almost all the time. Only Fulham conceded, while beating Tottenham and Ipswich, and sharing points with Wolverhampton, Aston Villa, Newcastle and even Manchester City. And Brighton was confidently beaten 3:2 last weekend.

Arsenal

The club under Arteta added, and for several years it was he who became the main competitor for Manchester City. In the spring, the gap was only 2 points, despite the fact that, at the same time, the English returned to the Champions League, where they made their way to the playoffs. It seemed that now, taking advantage of the decline of the townspeople, it would be possible to seize the leadership. But in autumn, the team from London had an unpleasant stretch, when it could not win in four rounds in a row in the EPL. Then, it seemed, it managed to gain momentum. But after going 2-0 to old foes Manchester United, the red and whites managed to drop the points at Fulham, drawing 1-1. Yes, then they defeated Monaco, but limited themselves to a goalless draw with Everton.

Statistics of personal meetings
