Analysis of the match between Arsenal and Crystal Palac
Arsenal are always a formidable force at the Emirates Stadium. They are unbeaten in their last 14 official matches across all competitions, recording 13 wins and just one draw. Notably, Manchester City are the only team to leave London with a point, following a 1-1 draw on September 21, 2025.
Mikel Arteta’s side are also enjoying an impressive overall run of form. Since the start of the season, Arsenal have lost only twice, both in the Premier League. In their last 20 matches, Aston Villa are the only team to have beaten them, and that defeat came at Villa Park. The last time the Gunners lost at home was a 1-2 defeat to Bournemouth in last season’s Premier League.
Following the setback against Aston Villa, Arsenal responded with three consecutive victories ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace. While those wins were not particularly convincing, narrow and gritty victories have helped Arteta’s men stay focused and avoid complacency. Palace will now test Arsenal’s strength, even if the Spanish manager opts to rotate his squad.
Head-to-head records also favor Arsenal, who are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Crystal Palace, winning seven and drawing one. At the Emirates, the Gunners have won four and drawn one in their last five home games against the Eagles.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace face an uphill battle. Not only do they struggle historically against Arsenal, but they are also dealing with squad issues due to injuries and AFCON 2025. Their recent form is worrying as well, with two defeats and one draw in their last three matches, and this trip to the Emirates could see their winless run extend to four games.
