The Gunners are looking to complete their first league double over Crystal Palace since 2017-18, following their 2-0 win at Selhurst Park on the opening day of the season.
Mikel Arteta’s men have won eight of their nine London derbies in the Premier League this season (D1), which should further boost their morale heading into Sunday’s meeting.
On the other hand, Palace have won just one of their eight London derby matches in the Premier League this season (D2 L5), winning 2-1 at West Ham in November. The Eagles have scored the fewest goals (five) and have the worst goal difference (-10) in such games this term, while Arsenal have the fewest goals conceded (four) and best goal difference (+16).
Gabriel Martinelli has been in brilliant form and is Arsenal’s highest goalscorer in the Premier League this season with 12 goals, including five in his last five appearances. It’s the most goals a player has scored for the Gunners in a single campaign while aged 21 or under since Nicolas Anelka’s 17 in 1998-99.
