How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

Arsenal are among the strongest teams in the league and should control the ball in front of their own fans at Emirates Stadium, leaving Palace to defend for long spells.

Away

Crystal Palace

A solid mid-table side. Palace are hard to break down on the road at Emirates Stadium, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.

Match preview

Crystal Palace visit Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the 2026/27 Premier League. It is the London derby, and derbies tend to be closer than the league table would suggest. Arsenal get a 64% rating from our model, which expects 1.81 goals from Arsenal and 0.69 from Palace. Check the team sheets, released roughly an hour before kick-off, because one absence can shift the odds more than anything else.
