Head coach Oliver Glasner’s job isn’t getting easier, as my Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace prediction is targeting a tough afternoon at the Emirates Stadium for his Eagles against Mikel Arteta’s Premier League title hopefuls.

Crystal Palace are in a tailspin after their most recent defeat in the Conference League prolonged their winless streak. Now, they face the daunting task of traveling to face an Arsenal side that’s the heavy favorite with odds of -250. Along with predicting a convincing Arsenal victory, my Premier League best bets also target a former Crystal Palace star who will come back to haunt his former team on Sunday at 10 a.m. ET on Peacock+.

✅ Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace best bet

💣 Arsenal -1.5 (+115) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It could be a long day at the office for Crystal Palace when they travel to play an Arsenal side that looks unbeatable right now. I’m backing Arsenal to win this one and cover the -1.5 spread.

It would’ve been a drastically different narrative had these two met a month earlier. Crystal Palace were flying near the top of the Premier League table, while Arsenal’s title hopes appeared to be in peril after stumbling out of the gates to begin the season.

But now the odds have significantly tipped in Arsenal’s favor amid a three-game unbeaten run in the Premier League, as well as a perfect start in the Champions League. Palace, meanwhile, have slipped to eighth since beating Liverpool. DraftKings has the best odds here, with a winning $10 bet netting a profit of $11.50 with an implied probability of 46.51%, per our odds calculator.

🔥 Eberechi Eze to score or assist (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Eberechi Eze undoubtedly had Sunday’s game marked on his calendar. While it’ll probably feel strange to face his friends, it’s going to be even more awkward when Eze helps Arsenal beat his former team Crystal Palace.

The 27-year-old, who joined Arsenal last summer, has been limited to four goal contributions (one goal and three assists) in 12 games, but I’m expecting an inspired performance against Palace to boost his stats.

I anticipate that Eze will be heavily involved in the final third when Arsenal press for goals in a fixture that has recently produced plenty of them. The best odds are over at FanDuel (-110, 52.38%), where a winning $10 bet nets a profit of $9.09. Our Gary Pearson offers three more best bets in his Premier League odds & predictions, including a play on Erling Haaland to score versus Aston Villa.

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace odds analysis

Arsenal opened as the -222 favorite but saw their odds shift to -250 after a decisive 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. The odds change was also caused by Crystal Palace’s continued slump. Although Arsenal’s odds might not draw much betting interest, the -1.5 spread is an appealing alternative.
