The shortened Premier League weekend schedule concludes on Sunday as Crystal Palace visit Arsenal in a London derby. Palace made a shock decision to sack manager Patrick Vieira on Friday after a poor run of results.
Palace have struggled for goals all season long, but that comes down more to a lack of attacking quality than the manager's tactics and man management. The Eagles have also faced the toughest schedule of opposing fixtures in the PL.'
Arsenal had a difficult finish to their Europa League campaign on Thursday after the Gunners lost at home to Sporting in a penalty shootout. Now that they’re out of all domestic and European cups, the Gunners can turn all of their attention to holding off Manchester City for the PL title race. They have a five-point lead and could push it to eight on Sunday with City playing in the FA Cup quarterfinal.
It’s a sign of how much the market perception has shifted on both of these teams that the Gunners were just -130 on the road to kick off the PL season at Palace. Now at home, the Gunners are laying more than 1.5 goals on the spread. Arsenal’s defense has cracks and the number is good enough to buy into the Eagles attack.
