Tomorrow Matchday 1 kicks off with Arsenal traveling to Selhurst Park where they will face Crystal Palace @ 3pm est.

It was a disappointing end of the 2021/22 campaign for Arsenal as they stumbled down the stretch and failed to qualify for Champions League.  Their up and down play was not only on the back stretch of the season, but the beginning as well starting 0-3. This club can not have a repeat of last season and needs to start sharp and play the consistent high level soccer they are capable of.  It was not too long ago these two clubs met in April where CP handed Arsenal an embarrassing 3-0 loss.  CP got two early goals demoralizing Arsenal and finished them off with a pk in the 2nd.  This was a classic case of the match stats not correlating to the outcome; on paper Arsenal controlled that match.  Revenge is mind here for Arsenal, not only against CP but for underachieving last season.  The stage is set up perfectly for them to travel on the road in a tough atmosphere for the opening day match to make a huge statement to the league.

Now this is no easy task for Arsenal, CP is a very dangerous club that plays to their competitions level.  Last season CP tied Brighton for the lead in match draws with 15.  Arsenal lead the league with the fewest draws of 3.  When Arsenal plays they either win or lose.  Tomorrow it will be a win.  I am looking for CP to come out spirited with high intensity due to the opening night game home atmosphere.  Arsenal will survive the first emotional onslaught brought by CP and settle in controlling the pace of play.  I am looking for a methodical Arsenal attack with an emphasis of controlling possession and constant ball movement to spring free runners.  A balanced well paced Arsenal approach will help defend against the dangerous counter attack CP is often capable of.  I see this being an extremely tight game where eventually Arsenal breaks through in the second half.  Not giving up a goal and blanking CP I like a final match prediction of 1-0 hitting both the ML and the Under.
