Arsenal disappointed their fans with the last two performances in the English Premier League, where they could not justify the status of favorite and reduce the gap from the leading Liverpool. First, the team under the leadership of Mikel Arteta away drew with Fulham 1:1, then at home walls could not outplay Everton. The game of the 16th round of the EPL ended with a zero draw. In the asset of the London club 30 points, the team is located on the third line in the standings.

The team made progress in recent performances of the championship of England. First, the London team in the away end achieved a minimal advantage over Ipswich Town 1:0. The next opponent of the Eagles was the reigning champion Manchester City: Londoners showed character at home walls and played a draw 2:2. In the 16th round of the English championship the Palace successfully traveled to the stadium Amex and upset Brighton with a score of 3:1. Due to the progress the team has 16 points in the asset, the Eagles climbed to the 15th line in the table.

Arsenal need to respond with positive actions to all the criticism that fell on the team after the second consecutive misfire in the EPL. Crystal Palace is a convenient opponent for the hosts of the field in recent seasons. On the outcome, we expect that Arsenal will justify the status of favorite, but the meeting will be very difficult for them.
