Arsenal's recent form has been impressive, with a three-match winning streak across all competitions. Their last league match saw them secure a 1-0 away victory against Everton. This season, in 17 league games, they've scored 31 goals while conceding only 10, showcasing a historical defensive performance and the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League. Their home advantage is significant, remaining unbeaten in 12 home matches across all competitions this season, with a 90% win rate in their last 10 home games. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, is struggling, with a three-match winless streak (one draw and two losses). Their previous league match resulted in a 4-1 defeat to Leeds United, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Their away record is poor, with only one win, two draws, and seven losses in their last 10 away games, conceding 18 goals. Crystal Palace also faces the pressure of multiple competitions, putting their physical fitness to the test. As league leaders, Arsenal's recent performance is striking, achieving four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six league matches, averaging nearly two goals per game. Their overall performance firmly places them at the top of the standings, accumulating 39 points after 17 rounds, with a goal difference of 21, displaying dominance in both attack and defence. At home, they've shown great control, winning all of their last eight home matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding only three, demonstrating their strong defence. In contrast, Crystal Palace's away performances in the league have been underwhelming, managing only three wins in their last five away games, with some defensive weaknesses, scoring only 12 goals in their first nine away matches. Recommendation: Arsenal -1.25
