EPL ROUND UP: ARSENAL VS CRYSTAL PALACE

-


Arsenal have lost two of their last five league meetings with Crystal Palace (Won 2, Draw 1), as many as they had in their first 33 such games against the Eagles (Won 22, Draw 9, Lost 2).

Arsenal have never failed to score in 19 home league games against Crystal Palace - they've faced the Eagles more often without ever failing to score at home than they have against any other side in their top-flight history.

Arsenal haven't lost a home league game in October since 2002 (1-2 vs Blackburn), winning 25 and drawing five since. It's their joint-longest unbeaten home run in a single month in Premier League history (also 30 in March between 1998 and 2015).

Crystal Palace's Luka Milivojevic has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than he has against any other side in the competition, netting four goals in five games against the Gunners.

Since February 2018, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 26 Premier League goals in games played on Sunday - no player has scored more on a day of the week in that time (Mo Salah, 26 goals on Saturday).
