Arsenal F.C. vs Crystal Palace F.C. Prediction 26 October 2025

Mikel Arteta’s side has been in excellent form recently, securing a strategically valuable 1-1 draw with Manchester City and recording convincing victories over Nottingham Forest (3-0), Newcastle (2-1), West Ham (2-0), and Fulham (1-0). With a superb balance between defensive solidity and attacking precision, the Gunners sit atop the Premier League table with 19 points and an impressive goal difference of 15-3.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have also made a solid start to the campaign. The Glaziers currently occupy eighth place with 13 points and a goal difference of 12-8. Their recent results have been mixed: notable wins over West Ham (2-1) and Liverpool (2-1) were followed by a goalless draw with Sunderland, a narrow 1-2 defeat to Everton, and a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.

Historically, this fixture has produced plenty of action — the last four encounters between these sides have yielded 20 goals, most of which have gone in Arsenal’s favor. While the Gunners enter as clear favorites, Palace’s resilience suggests this could be a tighter contest than expected. Arsenal should prevail, but likely in a more hard-fought manner than their recent dominant displays.
