On Monday night, one game in the English Premier League is going to happen. It will be a London derby as Crystal Palace will host Arsenal. Last season, Arsenal won both games. In this match, I predict that Arsenal is going to win.

Crystal Palace started the season on the road against Sheffield United. The team dominated the whole match, they had 68% ball control, 16 more shots in total and 7 more shots on target and won 1:0 although according to xG, the difference should have been bigger. This will be their home opener but last year, they struggled in front of their fans as they had 7 wins and 7 draws in 19 games, with a total of 21 goals scored and 23 conceded.

Arsenal had a decent season opener. The team was already up by 2:0 at halftime against Nottingham but conceded one goal in the 2nd half, winning the game at the end 2:1. Per xG, though, the opponents were better although Arsenal had 78% ball control, 9 more shots in total and 5 more on target. The head coach Mikel Arteta wasn't very happy about the performance in the 2nd half so the team will be motivated tonight. Last season, Arsenal was thriving on the road as they had the best record with 12 wins and 3 draws in 19 games, with a total of 35 goals scored and 18 conceded.

Michael Olise, Matheus Franca and Will Hughes won't be available for Crystal Palace on Monday night. As for Arsenal, summer signing Jurrien Timber lasted just 50 minutes on his Premier League debut before stuffing an injury. Gabriel Jesus is out as well but Oleksandr Zinchenko could be back in the lineup.

I'm going with Arsenal in this game. As I said before, the team won both last year's matchups against Crystal Palace. Traveling across London is unlikely to faze Arsenal as they went unbeaten in away London derbies in the Premier League last season (5 wins, 1 draw), while no side in the division won more points on the road than they did last season (37).

周一晚上，英超联赛将有一场比赛。这将是一场伦敦德比，水晶宫将主场迎战阿森纳。上赛季，阿森纳赢得了两场比赛。在这场比赛中，我预测阿森纳会赢。

本赛季水晶宫客场对阵谢菲尔德联队。球队控制了整场比赛，他们有68%的控球率，总共射门16次，射正7次，以1:0获胜，尽管根据xG的数据，差距应该更大。这将是他们的主场首战，但去年，他们在球迷面前表现不佳，19场比赛7胜7平，进21球丢23球。

阿森纳有一个不错的赛季揭幕战。半场结束时，球队已经以2:0领先诺丁汉，但在下半场丢了一个球，最终以2:1获胜。尽管如此，对手还是表现得更好，尽管阿森纳有78%的控球率，射门次数多了9次，射正次数多了5次。主教练阿尔特塔对下半场的表现不太满意，所以今晚球队会有动力的。上赛季，阿森纳在客场取得了19场比赛12胜3平的最佳战绩，进球数为35球，失球数为18球。

迈克尔·奥利斯、马修斯·弗兰卡和威尔·休斯将无法在周一晚上的水晶宫比赛中出场。至于阿森纳，夏天签下的尤尔里安·图尔在他的英超首秀中只坚持了50分钟就受伤了。加布里埃尔·热苏斯也缺阵，但津琴科可能会回到首发阵容中。

这场比赛我支持阿森纳。就像我之前说的，这支球队在去年两次对阵水晶宫的比赛中都赢了。穿越伦敦不太可能让阿森纳感到困扰，因为他们上赛季在英超客场德比中保持不败(5胜1平)，而联赛中没有一支球队在客场获得比上赛季更多的积分(37分)。
