Crystal Palace travel to face league leaders Arsenal on Sunday, looking to halt a concerning dip in form.
After embarking on a club-record unbeaten run, Oliver Glasner’s side have hit a difficult patch. In fact, they are now winless in their last three matches across all competitions. This recent slump included a disappointing home defeat in Europe midweek. Consequently, the Eagles face a daunting task today against the Premier League’s best defence.
Their own attack has created numerous high-quality chances this season. Indeed, Palace actually lead the league in expected goals (xG) and big chances created. However, the team have struggled with clinical finishing, which has resulted in several frustrating draws. Therefore, finding that cutting edge against the Gunners will be vital if they hope to get a result.
