Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

Home advantage
Edge: Arsenal
Arsenal are the stronger side and at home, which our model values at just over a fifth of a goal. Both advantages add up.
Expected goals
Edge: Even
At 2.6 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (48% for the over).
Derby intensity
Edge: Draw
The London derby brings extra intensity, more fouls and a projected 4.5-5.5 cards. Derbies often finish closer than the league table suggests.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

Arsenal have a squad deep enough to challenge for the title. They squeeze opponents at Emirates Stadium, so Palace will need a disciplined low block to stay in the game.

Away

Crystal Palace

Expect Palace to sit compact on their trip to Emirates Stadium and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

If Arsenal name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Palace score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Arsenal vs Palace match preview

Arsenal host Crystal Palace in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Arsenal. Because this is the London derby, form counts for less than usual, and we have pulled the numbers closer together to reflect that. The expected-goals gap (1.93 for Arsenal, 0.67 for Palace) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 67% for Arsenal comes from. Palace's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
