The 2022–23 Premier League season commences with a London rivalry on Friday night when Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace made the decision to play a lot of games and start the preseason early. The
Eagles have played nine friendly matches, which is perhaps more than any other EPL side. This puts them basically in a competitive rhythm. Viera did mix and match the formations, but he also aimed to build camaraderie and get his club going quickly in the season.

Even more remarkable is Arsenal. With their performances, most recently a 6-0 victory over
Sevilla in the Emirates Cup, the Gunners have thrown a shadow over all other EPL teams. They performed admirably in the past as well, destroying a number of clubs, including Chelsea, 4-0, during their recent US trip.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal: Prediction

Predicting the outcomes of these games only on the basis of preseason performance is a bit
difficult. It might be difficult to predict how a squad will work together until the real season begins and new players are added. Even though Crystal Palace has the ability to knock someone out on occasion, the Gunners might be too strong for them to overcome.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace
