There is English Premier League action for punters to sink their teeth into on Monday night and we take a close look at the Crystal Palace v Arsenal fixture.
A reminder that the long term English Premier League markets including Outright Winner, Winner without the Big Six, Relegation and Top Goal Scorer are constantly updated here.
Crystal Palace are currently 12th in the League and have taken 8 points from the last 12 they have played for. Last time out they drew 0-0 at home to Manchester City and prior to that they beat Wolves 2-0 on the road. Although drawing to City at home was a good result, Crystal Palace’s recent home form has been poor with just 2 draws and 3 losses in their last 5 starts. They have only won 4 out of 15 home matches this season. Those 15 Palace home games have averaged 2.6 goals each with 8 of the 15 matches delivering you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals. Their last 3 home matches though have all failed to reach the 3 goal mark.
Arsenal are 4th on the table and are coming off a 1-0 win away at Aston Villa. They have won 6 of their last 7 matches in the EPL only losing their penultimate start 2-0 at home to Liverpool. The Gunners have played 13 matches on the road winning 7, losing 5 and with only 1 draw and they have won their last 5 away games. There is nothing that stands out from a punting perspective when looking at Arsenal’s goals on their travels and 7 of the 13 matches have reached an average of 3 goals per match.
These sides drew 2-2 at Arsenal earlier in the season and last season Arsenal won this fixture 3-1.

Crystal Palace 3/1
Draw 12/5
Arsenal 1/1
Suggested Bets:
Arsenal win at 1/1
Arsenal are great on the road and I think they will do enough to take the 3 points against a Crystal Palace who that hasn't really delivered in front of their own fans this season.
Both Teams to Score, YES at 19/20
A look at the history of fixtures between these sides suggests that we will get goals at both ends and this bet would have arrived in 8 of the 9 head-to-head meetings between the sides.
Other markets that will interest punters include First Goal Scorer where Emile Smith-Rowe is the favourite at 11/2 and if you are a Correct Score punter I quite Arsenal to win 2-1, priced at 17/2.
