Crystal Palace vs Arsenal bet builder tips

Arsenal to win or draw

There may not be much on the line in the table, but Arsenal’s squad depth should still give them the edge at Selhurst Park.

The Gunners have already wrapped up the Premier League title and are likely to rotate ahead of next week’s Champions League final against PSG.

Crystal Palace are in a similar position, with Oliver Glasner expected to prioritise next week’s Conference League final.

Even with changes expected from both sides, Arsenal’s second-string XI should still have enough quality to avoid defeat against a much-rotated Palace team.

Our experts are backing the champions to either win or draw on the final day of the season.

Viktor Gyokeres to score

No Arsenal player has more to prove this weekend than Viktor Gyokeres.

As things stand, Mikel Arteta is still expected to start Kai Havertz in the Champions League final, which Ladbrokes has a bet builder already posted for, meaning Gyokeres needs a big performance here to force his way into contention.

The Swedish striker is chasing his 15th Premier League goal of the season and comes into the final day with plenty of motivation.

Gyokeres will desperately want to give Arteta a selection headache ahead of the PSG clash on May 30, and we expect him to find the back of the net at Selhurst Park.

Gabriel to have 1+ shot

Arsenal may rotate heavily, but injuries at the back could limit Arteta’s options defensively.

Ben White and Jurrien Timber are both unavailable, while Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to feature further forward in midfield.

That could leave Gabriel starting once again, and the Brazilian defender remains a huge threat from set pieces.

Gabriel averages 0.9 shots per game in the Premier League this season and has actually improved on that recently, registering seven shots across his last five league appearances.

Given Arsenal’s strength from dead-ball situations, we’re backing Gabriel to have at least one effort on goal.

Jorgen Strand Larsen to have 1+ shot on target

With Jean-Philippe Mateta expected to start the Conference League final next week, this could be a valuable opportunity for Jorgen Strand Larsen to lead the line for Palace.

The Norwegian striker has averaged 0.4 shots on target per game across his appearances for Palace and Wolves this season, despite many of those recent outings coming from the bench.

Strand Larsen has also looked increasingly involved lately, registering five shots across his last three matches.

With a start likely on the horizon and the World Cup approaching this summer, we expect him to be eager to make an impression and test Arsenal’s goalkeeper at least once.
