Current Form: Arsenal Seek Another Win, Palace Aim to Avoid Relegation Zone
Crystal Palace’s Season
Palace have struggled to find consistency under Oliver Glasner this season and currently sit 15th in the table. With just three wins and seven draws from their 16 matches, the Eagles have found themselves looking nervously over their shoulder. Their best performance so far came in a 3-1 win against Brighton, though they’ve struggled to replicate that form consistently. A 2-0 loss to West Ham exposed some of the offensive challenges they’ve faced this season.
Arsenal’s Season
The Gunners have been in fine form this season, sitting third in the table with eight wins from their first 16 matches. Their attacking strength was on full display in their biggest win of the season, a 5-2 victory at West Ham. Defensively, they’ve been solid too, maintaining six clean sheets in their league campaign. Their only significant setback came in a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth, which revealed some vulnerabilities, especially when playing away from home.
