Arsenal/Crystal Palace - Monday 8/21
Only this one game today and I'm leaning the Palace side. I know Arsenal is a better team, but I think CP's form carried over from the last year. They finished strong, and play a great home game. They only lost five at home last season, even though one of them was against Arsenal. Michael Olise just signed a new contract with the team amid rumors he'd move on from the team. Palace is a great defensive team, but have trouble putting the ball in the net. The loss of Zaha will end up being a problem, but I think this will be a low scoring game at the end. I'm taking Palace with the tie/win on the 0.5/double chance line. The thing is I also think Arsenal is going to have some issues scoring goals early this season also. They lost the xG battle to Nottingham last game, and that was at home.
