Arsenal v Crystal Palace – Premier League 2025/26

While Arsenal vs Crystal Palace doesn’t carry the historical rivalry weight of other London derbies, it has quietly developed into one of the capital’s more intriguing matchups. Palace’s return to the Premier League in 2013 reintroduced a consistent South vs North London fixture, and since then, they've been one of the few mid-table teams to regularly take points off Arsenal. Between 2017 and 2022, Palace went unbeaten in five of six league games against the Gunners, including back-to-back draws at the Emirates. While the Gunners will be the favourites coming into it, this fixture's increasing unpredictability makes it an exciting occasion.

While Arsenal have traditionally controlled this fixture, Crystal Palace proved difficult opposition between 2018 and 2022, earning points in four consecutive visits to the Emirates. The fixture grew in intensity as Palace became one of the few mid-table clubs able to consistently disrupt Arsenal’s rhythm, relying on compact defensive structure and quick counter-attacks to frustrate the Gunners at home.

That dynamic has changed in recent years. Arsenal’s 5–0 win in January 2024 was part of a broader statement of dominance in London derbies. They became the first club since Chelsea in 2005 to go unbeaten in all 10 capital clashes during the 2024 calendar year, a run that underlined their growth under Mikel Arteta. For Palace, the fixture remains a valuable benchmark, testing their ability to challenge top-six opposition as they continue their push for European contention.
