This is the exact type of game arsenal have been grinding out wins in for weeks. I'd probably feel more confident of Palace getting at least a point if they were at Arsenal or fighting for relegation.

Not a particularly brave prediction but I think Arsenal will win comfortably, particularly with Palace missing two of their better players.

What do people think about Neville's opinion on 4th probably being as good as it gets for them?

I have to agree to an extent.

City and Liverpool aren't going anywhere.
Chelsea will stay up there for now.


I believe, with Conte, we have a major edge over them. The other thing is, whilst their young players look very good, none of them have yet shown they are big game winners.

I've seen a lot of people say they are like us in Poch's early years. There's some similarities but I don't think its enough.

Kane was already scoring goals against Arsenal, Chelsea and winning us big games. Eriksen had already shown he was top class, I don't think Odegaard is at that level.

Vertonghen and Dembele were very very highly regarded and better than what Arsenal have at that age.

I also think whilst Ramsdale has received a lot of praise, he's always capable of dropping a major clanger. Time will tell in whether he is that good.

If they finish 4th I suppose they could spend, and the CL is attractive.

But some players don't just think about 1 season, they'll look at us with Conte and think it may be smarter to join a winner. Chelsea often finished below us but beat us to players

Newcastle will start to target players that both us and Arsenal want and offer them more money.

However, I imagine Neville is believing that United will be one of those clubs that get in the way of Arsenal. They could be but I think they are in a really bad place as they don't seem to have the right strategy or direction.

I don't know, but I know as sure as fuck i don't want them getting fourth this season. One look at their covid losses for the last two years. On top of them paying champions league salaries, for the 3 years before that, without champions league income, to know that another year out of the competition won't be good for them at all.

I would go as far as to say them getting fourth would be pretty disastrous, as they will spend if they do and frustratingly they seem to have got their scouting right now.

we all hope differently but the reality is, an Arsenal win.


It's after a international break and some teams have struggled - this may effect Arsenal. its a long shot.(y)

Can't see anything other than an Arsenal win. They seem to be able to grind out results and Chelsea losing at the weekend has probably got them looking up rather than down.

Palace are safe for another season with a FA cup semi final coming up. Will the players avoid 50/50s tackles to avoid getting injured and missing the semi final? Will they give it their all when nothing is riding on it. Or possibly if some of the big names are out as we're hearing maybe the fringe players will play out of their skins in the hope of being picked for the semi final at Wembley. I'd imagine that would be part of Viera's team talk. But I'm not convinced Palace will be up for this but I'm sure Arteta will have the Arsenal players up for it. Arsenal 2-0, comfortable win for me.

They’ve not won a single home game this year in the league :cautious:
Definitely one of those stats that sounds worse than it is. Only five home league games in 2022 and four of those were Liverpool, City, West Ham and Chelsea so not games they'd expect to win.
