Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Arsenal To Win
Leg 2: Over 2.5 Goals
Arsenal are Premier League champions. That makes the upcoming game hold much less significance for both teams, with Crystal Palace (15th) also not fighting for anything in the league.
Therefore, bettors should approach this game differently and perhaps expect a different kind of Arsenal performance than we would have seen if the Gunners still needed a win in the hunt for the Premier League silverware.
The midweek celebrations from the Arsenal players won’t be ideal preparation for this game, and it’s fair to assume that motivation levels will have dipped ahead of it.
Therefore, whilst an Arsenal win is still expected, maybe the hosts can add to the eventual scoreline on the final day in front of their home fans.
Arsenal have kept the most clean sheets (8) away from home this season, but given the change in circumstances, that might not reach 9 by the final whistle. Equally, only Burnley and Nottingham Forest (9) have failed to score in more home games than Palace (7) this season.
Still, this is now effectively an audition for both sets of players ahead of the upcoming European finals. That should raise standards and encourage attacking output to impress the respective managers. The 1x2 market is tricky to navigate for this upcoming game, but we’re siding with the bookmakers and favoring Arsenal.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace Betting Analysis
Arsenal come to Selhurst Park as a newly-crowned Premier League champions following their narrow 1-0 home win over Burnley and Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
Mikel Arteta brought the first league title to the Emirates since 2004 (they played at Highbury back then), and there is no doubt the visitors will be in a festive mood and won’t care much for this game against Crystal Palace. Arsenal still have the Champions League final against PSG to play later this month, so Arteta will likely rotate his squad here.
Just like Arsenal, Crystal Palace have their focus elsewhere. Oliver Glasner’s team will face Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final and will be looking to secure a place in the Europa League with a win.
They are winless in the last six Premier League matches (three losses and three draws), which clearly suggests they have given up on competing in the league and will go all-in in the Conference League. Palace are 15th in the standings with 45 points, but they are unbeaten in their previous five matches at Selhurst Park (two wins and three draws).
Arsenal have dominated this London derby recently. They are on a seven-game winning streak in head-to-head meetings, and also won a reverse fixture back in October 2025, when it was 1-0 at the Emirates.
With both teams playing without pressure, expect a free-flowing, entertaining game on Sunday.
