Things seem to be going their way and Arsenal now have a good chance at making the top-four. However, they must scale through a tricky Crystal Palace side managed by a familiar name in Patrick Vieira. For this game, I’ve gone for a bet builder of 17.00 odds as an interesting Monday night clash lies in wait.

There is a lot to play for in this game and the stakes seem to be rather high. A series of surprising results at the weekend has opened up many possibilities in the standings.
Chelsea’s humiliation at the hands of Brentford, alongside Manchester United’s stalemate with Leicester City, means Arsenal can realistically start to dream of a 3rd-place finish.
A win for the Gunners at Selhurst Park will see them move to within two points of third-placed Chelsea. Making sure that happens will not come easy though, as they face a Crystal Palace side with much uncertainty.
Palace are unbeaten in their last six outings in all competitions, although they have claimed only two wins from their last 10 league games. However, they remain in the hunt for the FA Cup after they saw off Everton and famously put a dent in Manchester City’s title plans after holding them to a draw.

Since February, Vieira’s men have only lost to respectable opposition in Liverpool and Chelsea. In 2022, they have only lost three games in total. However, there is a worry that Palace are without a win in their last five home games.
It is a rather different story for Arsenal who are experiencing their best form under the tutelage of Mikel Arteta. The Gunners have won six of their last seven league games, losing only to title-chasing Liverpool. Since the start of the year, their only other defeats have come at the hand of Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, if penalties are regarded.
Arsenal are in fine form on the road as well, winning their last five away outings in the league. A recurring trend in those victories has seen the Gunners take the lead at halftime and I’m expecting another early goal from a side full of confidence.
The Gunners’ defensive record has also improved by far, seeing as they have kept seven clean sheets in their last 13 league games. While the visitors are clear favourites to win, they must be wary of a Palace side with a dangerous attacking threat upfront. Any mistake is likely to be punished at both ends and tactical discipline must be the order of the day.
Given what is at stake for both sides, Arsenal need the victory more and I am backing them to do just that.

CRYSTAL PALACE VS ARSENAL BET BUILDER TIPS
- Match Result will be Arsenal
- Under Four Goals in the Match for Both Teams Combined
- Wilfried Zaha – Over 1.5 shots on target in the Match·
- Both teams to receive at least a Card – Yes
The reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium ended 2-2, with Alexandre Lacazette sealing a late point for Arsenal. However, I am predicting a more conservative game this time around. Wilfried Zaha is in a race against time to be fit but Patrick Vieira is positive he will be available and he will no doubt trouble the Gunners’ backline.
Conor Gallagher is among the league’s most-booked players (only three players have more) and with players like Granit Xhaka at the other end, there is a good possibility of a booking at both ends.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?
A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
