Expert Betting Tips

Victory over Palace in midweek should restore the confidence of the Canoniers, who have lost their best form in the last two rounds of the English championship. Arsenal has slipped to third in the APL standings, having missed out on Chelsea and failing to take advantage of Liverpool's mistakes to close the gap. We expect Mikel Arteta's side to play better than they did against Fulham and Everton, but the next game will not be easy.
