Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction, 2:00 a.m. April 24: Holding Liverpool back

TPO - Football prediction Arsenal vs Crystal Palace, early match of round 34 of the Premier League at 2:00 a.m. on April 22. Update information on the forces and form of the two teams before the match. Arsenal must avoid defeat against Palace to hold Liverpool back for at least one more match.

Prediction before the match Arsenal vs Crystal Palace

Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium in the early match of round 34 of the Premier League with the aim of consolidating their second place in the table. Currently, Arsenal is 13 points behind Liverpool and has almost no chance of winning the championship. However, the Gunners promise to be determined to win, maintain the excitement and delay Liverpool's coronation day.

In fact, Arsenal had many opportunities to close the gap with Liverpool and create a more intense race. However, the storm of injuries and limited additions in the winter transfer window caused them to miss the opportunity. With their progress in the Champions League, the Gunners have somewhat underestimated the Premier League. This was shown by the fact that coach Mikel Arteta used many reserve players in the matches before the quarter-finals against Real Madrid.

Now, things are simpler for Arsenal as their schedule is more relaxed. The match against Crystal Palace was moved up to give Arsenal a full week of rest before hosting PSG. Therefore, coach Mikel Arteta will likely not rotate too much. Instead, he will continue to let the pillars play to maintain a sense of the ball and stable physical condition. Of course, important stars such as Rice, Odegaard, Saka... will be used for a reasonable amount of time.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are distracted by the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa at the weekend and may change their lineup. Coach Oliver Glasner's team has had to "make up" matches with a high frequency since the beginning of April. This has caused their form to plummet. From the peak, Crystal Palace have only won 1 of their last 5 matches in the Premier League (D2, L2) and are sitting comfortably in the middle of the table.

At this point, Crystal Palace no longer have the ability to compete for a ticket to the European Cup next season. The only way for them to advance to the Europa League is to win the FA Cup, and coach Oliver Glasner of course has to calculate carefully for this goal.

Aside from motivation, Crystal Palace are unlikely to beat Arsenal at the Emirates. The Gunners have dominated Crystal Palace with six straight wins in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and conceding just two in their last five Premier League games. This season, Arsenal have beaten Palace 3-2 (League Cup) and 5-1 (Premier League). Gabriel Martinelli has been particularly dangerous against Palace, scoring six goals in six games, including five in his last five Premier League games.
