Crystal Palace vs Arsenal Tickets

There's nothing like a Premier League London rivalry and Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal at Selhurst Park is one that will always live up to the occasion as it brings a lot of action and entertainment to the field when the two sides meet.

Crystal Palace are lovingly known as the Eagles. They are an established team in South London, with a strong base in the Premier League, and have been constantly improving in recent years. Although the capital-based team spent many years between the top league and the English Championship, it has continued to avoid relegation after its last promotion, although it appears to flirt briefly with relegation each season.

Arsenal, are of course, one of the most successful sides to have been born out of English football, with a lot of their success having been just reward for all the hard work Arsene Wenger had put in during his managerial reign at the club. The north London outfit have won no fewer than 13 League titles, as well as recording an impressive 2003/04 campaign in which saw the Gunners go unbeaten and dubbed the ‘Invincibles’.

Crystal Palace plays their home games at Selhurst Park, which is a stadium that has the capacity to house 25,486 fans, and the hosts have some of the most passionate games of the game in English. Those supporters, known as the "Ultras," can help build the atmosphere in South London into one that is truly amazing.

Previous encounters in south London have been extremely close affairs usually, with a one-goal swing usually enough for the victory, however there have been some high-scoring matches to remain fresh in the memory of those who follow the Eagles.

A 3-0 victory in 2017 will have provided supporters a joyous moment, whereas Arsenal generally appear to do better when they make the trip across the River Thames. Previous meetings have seen scores of 2-3 and 1-2 recorded, although 1-1 and 2-2 draws have also made appearances.

A number of stars have played in the fixture over the years, with the likes of Thierry Henry, Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have all featured, whilst Palace have also had the likes of Wilfried Zaha put in some fine performances in previous meetings.

Historically, Crystal Palace vs Arsenal looks to be a fixture that will always promise those that do attend Selhurst Park that they will be able to see a close-fought encounter between two London rivals, whilst there is some precedent that there will be a number of goals involved as well for good measure.
