Bet Of The Day August 21 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Arsenal won 11 of their first 14 EPL away games last season
Arsenal have conceded nine goals in their last five EPL road outings
Arsenal have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of their last 14 competitive games
Crystal Palace have scored in five of their last six league games
Crystal Palace have scored in four of their last five league home games
Arsenal beat Crystal Palace in both league meetings last season

We’re off to the Premier League for today’s best bet as Arsenal look to make it two wins from two to start the season when they face Crystal Palace.

Arsenal were outstanding last season and were top of the table for most of the campaign before Man City ran them down in the final months.

Mikel Arteta will be determined for his side to keep pace with the reigning premiers early, making this a big game for the Gunners after City already picked up a maximum six points.

Arsenal got their campaign up and running with a victory last week, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing in a 2-1 win at home against Nottingham Forest.

The Gunners looked suspect in defence out wide, so with this in mind, we’ll be backing Crystal Palace to score in defeat at good value here.

Crystal Palace have scored in four of their last five EPL home games and five of their last six league outings overall dating back to last season.

Palace got a solid opening win last weekend over Sheffield United and managed to find the back of the net against Arsenal on the road last term, so they have the firepower to cause problems.

Arsenal have also conceded nine goals in their last five league games on the road, so their defence hasn’t exactly been impenetrable lately.

However, Arsenal should prove too strong in the end though – they won 11 of their first 14 away games last season and beat Crystal Palace in both meetings last season.
