Crystal Palace v Arsenal Tips: Saliba to shine in Joe Cole’s 52/1 Bet Builder

PP's Joe Cole fancies a set piece goal to be the difference at Selhurst Park.

By / Football Tips, Premier League / 46 mins ago

The Premier League late game on Saturday takes us to Selhurst Park, where Arsenal take on Crystal Palace for the second time this week.

The hosts will look for revenge after a Gabriel Jesus hat trick on Wednesday saw the Gunners dump them out of the Carabao Cup 3-2.

PP ambassador Joe Cole joined us earlier this week to share his expectations on the game. Let’s get his Crystal Palace v Arsenal betting tips.

Crystal Palace v Arsenal Bet Builder tips

Arsenal to win
Both teams to score – no
Under 2.5 goals
William Saliba to score

WHEN: Saturday, 21st of December, 5:30pm
WHERE: Selhurst Park, London
TV: Sky Sports Main Event/Premier League

It will be a difficult game for Arsenal, but they’ll win. I look at them, and everything that looked so seamless and smooth and at ease last season looks a bit more jagged this season, but they’re still getting results.
It won’t be easy. It will be a struggle. But I’m going to go with Arsenal to win.
4/9
Arsenal Match Odds
Perhaps only one goal will be the difference between the two sides. If Arsenal win, it will come from them, and Palace won’t score.
3/4
No Both Teams To Score
I’m backing a low-scoring game, so I’m going with Under 2.5 goals.
17/20
Under 2.5 Goals Over/Under 2.5 Goals
Arsenal’s goal will come from a set piece. It is a belter that the set-piece coach has a mural outside the Emirates. This is a testament to Arsenal’s lack of success over the last 20 years, in that they’ve put murals up for a set-piece coach rather than players outside the stadium.
But he is doing something right because they have scored a lot from set pieces recently, so I’ll back one of the centre-halves to score; I’ll go with William Saliba.
