Is Crystal Palace v Arsenal on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture | OneFootball

Crystal Palace host Arsenal at Selhurst Park in a repeat fixture from the Carabao Cup quarter-finals where the Gunners completed a fine comeback to triumph 3-2 on Wednesday evening.

Gabriel Jesus scored a second-half hat-trick following Jean-Philippe Mateta’s opener to send his team in the league cup final four despite a late consolation from ex-Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a similar result this afternoon as Arsenal look to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to just three points when they face Palace in Saturday’s late kick off.

For their part, Palace are four points clear of the relegation zone and hope to continue a fine run of league fixtures which has seen them go unbeaten for the last five games.

Team news

Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz is suspended and will miss the match with Nathaniel Clyne expected to return in his place. Joel Ward could also return from a calf problem but Adam Wharton, Matheus Franca, Rob Holding and Chadi Riad should all miss out again.

Mikel Arteta made eight changes to his starting line-up for the midweek clash with Crystal Palace but expect him to revert to a stonger line-up for this afternoon’s fixture with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard returning. Ben White (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss out with respective knee injuries and the match seems too soon for returns from Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori.

Crystal Palace XI: Henderson; Chalobah, Lecroix, Guehi; Clyne, Hughes, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze, Mateta

Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli

Odds

Crystal Palace win 4/1

Draw 23/10

Arsenal win 1/2

Crystal Palace have been in decent form during their last few league games and showed a surprising amount of fight in the Carabao Cup quarter-final during the week. That effort may have taken it out of them and given Arsenal the confidence they need to make it two wins from two.

Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal.
