📰 Team News: Crystal Palace

We are thinking that The Eagles could go for a 3-4-2-1 formation for this one featuring Dean Henderson, Jaydee Canvot, Maxence Lacroix, Chadi Riad, Daniel Munoz, Jefferson Lerma, Will Hughes, Justin Devenny, Brennan Johnson, Yeremy Pino and J. Strand Larsen.

📋 Team News: Arsenal

We are inclined to think that The Gunners seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, settling for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cristhian Mosquera, Christian Noergaard, Piero Hincapie, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Max Dowman, Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyoekeres and Gabriel Martinelli.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, Crystal Palace have it in them to find the back of the net against this Arsenal lineup, but a single goal is unlikely to prevent defeat.

We therefore reckon that it will be a 1-2 winning margin for Arsenal after the 90. Should be a good one.
