Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have shown resilience in their recent form, going unbeaten in their last five matches with two wins and three draws. This run includes an impressive 3-1 away victory against Brighton and a hard-fought draw against title contenders Manchester City. The Eagles have been relatively consistent in front of goal, scoring in five of their last six games and netting nine times in total during this period. Defensively, they've tightened up, conceding only six goals in their last five matches compared to two in their sole defeat to Fulham. Palace have been involved in some entertaining fixtures, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and an average of 2.83 total goals per match. Their current position of 15th in the league table perhaps doesn't fully reflect their recent upturn in form, as they've managed to secure points against tough opposition and build a five-game unbeaten streak.

Arsenal

Arsenal have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. The Gunners have been particularly potent in front of goal, netting 16 times in these six games, averaging an impressive 2.67 goals per match. Notably, Arsenal have recorded two high-scoring victories, thrashing both West Ham and Sporting CP 5-2 and 5-1 respectively, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Their defensive record is equally commendable, conceding only four goals in six games and keeping three clean sheets. Arsenal's current unbeaten streak extends to eight matches, highlighting their consistency across both domestic and European competitions. Despite their strong form, two recent draws against Everton and Fulham have prevented them from making further gains in the Premier League table, where they currently sit in third position with 30 points from 16 games.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been mixed, with the Eagles struggling to find consistent success at Selhurst Park. They have managed only one win in their last six home matches, a narrow 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Defensively, Palace have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding only six goals across these six games. However, their attacking output has been a concern, with the team scoring just four goals during this period, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Interestingly, the majority of their home matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals. Palace have shown resilience against top-tier opposition, securing draws against both Manchester clubs, but their inability to convert draws into wins has contributed to their current 15th position in the league table.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Gunners showing both brilliance and inconsistency on the road. After a disappointing run of two consecutive losses against Newcastle United and Inter Milan, Arsenal have since gone unbeaten in their last four away matches. The standout performances came in their two most recent victories, where they demolished both Sporting CP and West Ham United with impressive 5-1 and 5-2 scorelines respectively, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, their inability to keep a clean sheet in their last six away games is a concern for the North London side. The team's goal-scoring record has been impressive, netting 12 times in these six matches, but they've also conceded in every game. Interestingly, despite the high-scoring affairs against Sporting CP and West Ham, two-thirds of Arsenal's recent away matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, highlighting the unpredictable nature of their performances on the road.
