Overview
Arsenal continued to fly high when defeating Ipswich Town 4-0 in the most recent match. Coach Mikel Arteta's team is currently extending their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 11.
The "Gunners" won 4, drew 3 in the Premier League as well as defeated PSV and Real Madrid to advance to the Champions League semi-finals. A favorable result in hosting Crystal Palace will be an important spiritual medicine for Arsenal to enter the match against PSG in the Champions League.
Arsenal's attack is in good form, having scored regularly in the last 10 matches, scoring a total of 24 goals. They do not depend too much on a specific individual, but many different stars such as Mikel Merino, Trossard, Nwaneri, Rice or Bukayo Saka take turns to shine.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's defensive ability is also very impressive, especially at home with only 2 goals conceded/4 recent matches.
As for Crystal Palace, they are in serious decline. The Selhurst Park team has not known the taste of victory in the last 3 rounds, including 2 losses to Newcastle and Man City.
Palace's strikers had an impressive period of play. However, they have lost themselves by being quiet in the last 2 matches, not even hitting the target against Bournemouth.
In the first leg in December last year, Arsenal beat Palace 5-1 at Selhurst Park. It was one of the Gunners' 6 consecutive victories against the same city.
Personnel situation
Bukayo Saka is expected to be able to play despite being injured in the match against Ipswich. In addition, Arsenal have no other injury concerns.
On the other side of the front line, Palace may have to rotate their squad to save energy for the FA Cup semi-final. Chris Richards has been suspended after receiving a red card in the 0-0 home draw against Bournemouth.
Expected lineup:
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Odegaard, Merino, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
Crystal Palace: Turner, Devenny, Clyne, Lacroix, Lerma, Chilwell, Kamada, Hughes, Esse, Franca, Nketiah.
The match between Arsenal and Crystal Palace takes place at 2:00 am on April 24 (Vietnam time).
