Trossard has done really well coming in to support the Arsenal frontline in the absence of key players like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz. He played as a striker in Arsenal’s win over Ipswich last time out, but is set to move out wide here in the absence of Saka.

Trossard has won 39 fouls across his 33 Premier League appearances this season (1.61 per 90). Being out on the right hand side, he’ll line up against Marc Guehi who has committed a foul in each of his last five Premier League and is averaging 0.71 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Guehi has committed a foul in each of his last five Premier League matches. He’s become a little frustrated in this run Palace are having, in which they’ve only won one of their last five games across all competitions. 

Impressively, Guehi won 12 of his 14 duels in the initial meeting between the sides at Selhurst Park which prohibited him from getting a foul on his record but he did pick up a yellow card for a challenge that the referee blew advantage for. He’ll be up against Leandro Trossard who is averaging 1.61 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Trossard has won 39 fouls across his 33 Premier League appearances this season (1.61 per 90). Guehi has committed 22 fouls across the season as a whole (0.71 per 90), but this recent increase suggests that he can overstep the mark again here.

Palace have received 68 yellow cards across their 33 Premier League games this season (2.06 per game). They picked up two cautions in the initial meeting between these sides at Selhurst Park and could be in line to exceed that total here given their recent experiences on the road.

Palace have lost their last two away games against Man City and Newcastle by an aggregate scoreline of 10-2. They picked up 2+ cards in each of these games which highlights the frustration currently plaguing Oliver Glasner’s side. Arsenal have drawn three cards from each of their last four league opponents at the Emirates.

Palace have drawn 2+ saves from the opposition keeper in 28 of their 33 Premier League games this season (84%). David Raya in the Arsenal net is having to make 2.27 saves per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Raya was forced into making five saves in the initial meeting between the sides - more saves than he’s had to make in any Premier League game this season, which underlines the threat that Palace can cause.

Palace are averaging 4.7 shots on target per game in the Premier League this season and exceeded this total to hit six attempts at goal at Selhurst Park. They should be able to take advantage of an Arsenal side that may just be a little more cautious in their league performances, seeing as they have a Champions League semi-final coming up.

Martinelli is a man in form, he followed up his winner at the Bernabeu with a goal against Ipswich, taking his tally to 11 goal contributions across 28 Premier League appearances. This record is not as standout as it could be with Martinelli playing for one of the best sides in the country, but this is due to the winger starting the campaign slowly. 

He’s picked up pace in recent weeks and has recent history against Palace, scoring in Arsenal’s 5-1 win over the Eagles at Selhurst Park earlier in the campaign. Arsenal have only lost one game at the Emirates in the Premier League this season so you would expect them to have a few chances here. 

Palace have conceded 10 goals across their last two away fixtures in the Premier League, Arsenal will have chances to feed Martinelli here, who can be encouraged by his recent performances.

Lerma has picked up eight yellow cards for Crystal Palace this season, only Daniel Munoz (9) and Will Hughes (11) have picked up more cautions.

He committed a foul in the initial meeting between the sides and was hooked after 68 minutes. Lerma has committed 32 fouls across his 28 Premier League appearances this season (1.48 per 90) which is a record that suggests he will be quite combative in the middle of the park at the Emirates here. 

Lerma will be up against an Arsenal midfield which has been very strong in recent weeks. His direct opponent in likely to be Martin Odegaard who has won 20 fouls across his 25 Premier League appearances this season (0.92 per 90) and was brought down twice in the initial encounter between the sides.

Arsenal are averaging 7.88 corners per game at the Emirates this season - more than any other side in the division at home. Furthermore, they’re also only conceding 2.31 corners per game at the Emirates - lower than any other side in the division on home soil.

They notched a huge 12 corners away at Ipswich last time out, as well as 13 in their last home match against Brentford. They can post similar numbers here against a Crystal Palace side who look set to make changes ahead of their weekend FA Cup semi-final.

Arsenal ran out 5-1 winners in the initial meeting between the sides and whilst Palace aren’t in as tough a position as they were when that fixture was played, they come into this game a bit nervy, having been handed heavy defeats in their last two games on the road. 

Arsenal have been imperious at the Emirates this season, only losing one game (v West Ham) and generally being a very tough side to break down - only Liverpool have picked up more points at home than Arsenal this season. Mikel Arteta's side are unbeaten in 11 matches and can win again here.
