Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Tip 1: Martinelli to Score
Considering Gabriel Martinelli was Arsenal‘s joint-top scorer last season, 2/1 still represents enough value for us to take a chance.
The Brazilian is near-impossible to stop in full flow, and with the added insurance of both Declan Rice and Thomas Partey behind him, he was afford plenty of freedom in their opener against Nottingham Forest.
Casting our minds back to March towards the end of last season, Palace could not contain the Gunners and Martinelli’s free-roaming role will be a nightmare, particularly on the hosts’ right-hand side which is fairly immobile.
Do not be surprised to see him pop up with a goal given he scored in both meetings between these two last term.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Tip 2: Both Teams to Score
Arsenal displayed a touch of complacency in their opening fixture, allowing a Forest side who had been under the cosh the entire match, back into the game.
Crystal Palace will take comfort in witnessing that, but will also still have the memory of their convincing 3-0 victory over Arsenal the season before last fresh in their minds.
The Gunners will need to be particularly wary of Palace’s attack, which has looked rejuvenated since Roy Hodgson’s return at the tail end of last season.
The hosts can certainly hurt this Arsenal side, which has been made weaker by the sudden absence of Jurrien Timber, leaving them shorter on options at full-back.
Nevertheless, Palace themselves will also face a tall order if they are to keep a clean sheet, which we don’t expect them to achieve given it is a rarity that Arsenal draw blank.
Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Tip 3: Over 2.5 Goals
This third and final tip is fairly straightforward – this fixture almost always offers goals.
13 of the last 18 head-to-heads saw at least three goals, whilst eight of the last 12 meetings went over 3.5. We are treading with caution over picking a winner given half of the previous 10 have resulted in draws, but we are expecting there to be goals once more.
