Arsenal will play host to crystal palace on Sunday in the English premier league. The gunners who have currently fall out of the tittle race will be hoping to take all three points as they aim to pip Tottenham hotspur to second place in the league table. The spurs are leading the gunners with six points and are in second place though arsenal has an outstanding match to look forward to. Leicester city are far away from the gunners in top spot with thirteen points gap, and with their current form, i don’t think arsenal can catch up with them though manager Wenger believe his side can do it. But to do that, they will have to win all their remaining matches and hope that Leicester city and Tottenham hotspur will both have a poor run of form in their remaining six matches. And they have to start by beating crystal palace on Sunday. But before that game, Leicester city may give the gunners a sixteen points gap if they are able to beat west ham, who cause the gunners to drop two points after getting two early goals in the first half but two quick goals from west ham start striker Andy Carroll ended the first half in a draw. Carroll scored another goal in the second half to complete a hat trick before gunner’s defender Koscielny level the score to make sure both teams share the points in this game.
Since Tottenham hotspur who are in second place won’t be playing until Monday night, the gunner can close the gap between them and Tottenham if they manage a win on Sunday. With city just two points behind arsenal in fourth place, the gunners cannot afford to either draw or lose this game. Though city may go above arsenal temporally if they defeat Chelsea on Saturday.
With the gunners not having fresh injuries to worry about and with players returning from injury, the gunners will have to win this game. Goalkeeper Petr Cech may start in goal after returning from injury and spending the last two games on the bench. Defender Mertesacker may replace Gabriel after his woeful performance against west ham last week. In front I think Giroud may get the node over Welbeck who was very poor against west ham.
Crystal palace on their own will be hoping to pull an upset at the emirate when they visit the gunners. Having draw their last match against Everton, and before that, they had won against Norwich. I think they will be heading into this game with high confidence and will hope to give Arsenal a run for their money. Crystal palace will be having an eye on their upcoming FA cup semi final clash with Watford, so manager Allen Pardew will have to make some rotation in his starting eleven. Palace is currently in 16th position with 38 points.
Prediction: arsenal 3: 0 palace.
