Prediction: 0-2
Arsenal
After surviving Nottingham Forest in their opener, Arsenal will look to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurs Park. The Gunners are determined to win their first Premier League trophy since 2004 and it seems as if their squad has never been stronger. Even though the likes Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Jesus are sidelined with injuries, away win should be considered as Mikel Arteta’s team look sharp in front of goal. The good news for the visitors is that midfielder Jorginho has overcome his injury.
The Eagles, on the other hand, defeated newcomers Sheffield United thanks to Odsonne Edouard’s goal, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the title hopefuls. Arsenal are more of a team than Palace and we predict that Bukayo Saka and Co. are going to prove their worth on the field. All Hughes, Olise, and Matheus Franca de Oliveira are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the home side.
