Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Betting Tip
Arsenal has been struggling in the last couple of years to keep pace with the best teams in the Premier League which is expected to some point as the Gunners do not have the budget as the top teams in the league. Anyway, the Arsenal fans do not buy that excuse and are willing to see their team among the top four in the standings which will bring them back to the UEFA Champions League. A strong start is what Arsenal needs but that will not be easy as Crystal Palace won 3-0 on Selhurst Park last season. Arsenal is the better team at the moment and will go all in to start the season with three points which is a good reason to back them up by placing a bet on their win.
