Another weekend and again Arsenal have a rather kind fixture to play. They lost their first two matches of the Premier League season being beaten by Manchester City and Chelsea. Since then they've had a more friendly fixture list and as is often the case with the Gunners, they've had a string of victories. One big improvement this season is their away form. Last year it was appalling but they've won every one this season bar the opening game at Chelsea. They have scored at least twice in their last eight league games and have a great record against Palace only losing one of their last 17 games against them, Only once in the last 39 years have they lost away to Palace,

Just a home goal would be good news for Crystal Palace because they are yet to score one this season. They start this game in 15th place just two points above the relegation zone and with only five goals scored in nine league games. Palace have gone four league games without a win, losing the last three with their last win being at Huddersfield Town who are even more goal-shy than they are. Their only other win was on the first weekend of the season at Fulham, another team in the relegation zone. Their current plight is a bit surprising as they played well in the early part of the season, particularly in a home loss to Liverpool, If you don't score though, what can you expect? Their fixture list is frightening as their next four games are against Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United and it might not be long before Roy Hodgson gets the sack. Go for Arsenal to get an away win here.
