Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal in round 37 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 19th at Selhurst Park (London)
Crystal Palace could change very seriously. The Glaziers have not yet renewed contracts with a range of players. And, of course, there is a great temptation to get rid of those who play a little. Throwing off the ballast from the payroll will not hurt in "post-covid" realities. Moreover, it is not yet clear whether cooperation with Hodgson will continue. Old Roy seemed to be the optimal manager for the team, given that this middle peasant was content with its status and did not cherish any ambitions about the growth. But Hodgson is already 73, and the management is thinking about whether to continue cooperation with the veteran of the coaching department. And the bosses supposedly look towards Lampard, who is already bored without work. Perhaps this will help to tune in to the latest matches for both the coach and the players? In the last round, the Glaziers managed to beat Aston Villa, scoring twice after the 75th minute (3-2).

Arsenal generally had a busy season. After all, the Gunners played in the Europa League, where they reached the semifinals. But Arsenal was eliminated by Villarreal, and now the London club is close to failing this football year completely. It didn’t manage to defend the title of the cup holder, and the attempt to get into the Champions League through the Europa League was unsuccessful. Mikel Arteta can somehow justify his work with the grandee by taking a place not lower than 7th and at least not leaving his team without participating in European competitions at all. And on May 12, Arsenal surprised the experts by beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge — Smith-Rowe's early goal was the only one. Those three points preserve the chances for the Europa League, but the Gunners are too disappointing in general.
In recent years, Crystal Palace has begun to take points from the Gunners on a permanent basis. In the spring of 2019, it even won at the Emirates Stadium. The other four games brought draws, and the last match didn’t please the fans with goals scored (0-0 in January). Crystal Palace has shown bright football in recent games. On the other hand, Arsenal needs to win to retain at least some chances even for 7th place. We bet on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
