If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 27/10/2019, both clubs have shared the honours with Crystal Palace winning 1 of those games, Arsenal 1 and 4 being draws in regulation time. In all, 17 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 9 of them for The Eagles and 8 for The Gunners. The average goals per game has been 2.83. Our thinking is that Crystal Palace might have a difficult job to put one past this Arsenal team who should score one, at least. We therefore think that it’s going to be a good tussle with a 0-1 winning margin for Arsenal at the end of the 90. Let’s see how it plays out.

Crystal Palace ended the season strongly at Selhurst Park, and are unbeaten in their last six on home turf. The Eagles haven't conceded in five home league matches and beat Arsenal 3-0 in this game last season. The Gunners have spent well this summer, bringing in Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City. Two defeats in their final three league games of the season cost them a top-four finish, so Arsenal will look to make a running start to 2022/23. Palace were commendable on home turf last season, but Arsenal were solid on their travels, and they might just eke out an opening day win on Friday. 1:2
Jack Butland misses the opening game of the season, so too does summer arrival Sam Johnstone, so Vicente Guaita will start between the sticks. Michael Olise is hoping to overcome a foot problem to come into the reckoning for Patrick Vieira's side here. Cheick Doucoure may anchor the midfield for Crystal Palace in the Premier League opener. Mikel Arteta is sweating on the fitness of no fewer than four players ahead of Arsenal's trip across the capital. Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, Takehiro Tomiyasu and new signing Fabio Vieira will be assessed. Summer signings Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are set to start at Selhurst Park on Friday night.
Crystal Palace have kept a clean sheet in their last 5 home matches (Premier League). Crystal Palace have seen over 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 11 matches against Arsenal in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Crystal Palace's last 7 home games (Premier League). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Arsenal's last 7 games (Premier League). Crystal Palace are undefeated in their last 6 home matches (Premier League).
The likes of Conor Gallagher and Nuno Tavares were big factors in Palace's 3-0 win over Arsenal last term, and with neither man taking part in this contest, Arteta will hope for a vastly different showdown on Friday. Palace will of course take major confidence from their showings against Arsenal last term and their spate of clean sheets at home, but the Gunners have looked like a different beast in pre-season and have upped their pressing game tenfold, which should help them begin their Premier League season in winning fashion.
