- Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CEST
- Venue: Selhurst Park (London)
The 2025/26 Premier League season ends on Sunday, and for most teams, including Crystal Palace and Arsenal, that game will not mean much. Both sides will have the Conference and Champions League finals next week, and we should expect them to have a more relaxed approach on Sunday afternoon. Can these two teams produce a high-scoring spectacle at Selhurst Park? Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.

Crystal Palace team overview
Crystal Palace probably expected to be slightly higher in the standings, but in the end, the most important thing is that the team from Selhurst Park didn't have major problems securing another year in the English top flight. Crystal Palace has struggled for consistency lately, winning only twice in the last nine matches. In the previous game, Oliver Glasner's team played 2-2 on the road against Brentford. The teams were pretty even throughout the match, and splitting points was probably the fairest outcome.
Crystal Palace's manager, Oliver Glasner, wasn't fully satisfied with a draw last weekend. He said, "We all felt that more was possible. We're disappointed with the late equaliser, but at the end we just gave Brentford too many set-plays and they are so good in set-plays."
Edward Nketiah is injured and will not play on Sunday afternoon. Also, Christopher Richards, Chadi Riad, and Cheick Doucoure are officially questionable, but it seems pretty unlikely that Oliver Glasner will risk their health in the game without importance.

Arsenal team overview
After 22 years, Arsenal finally won the Premier League title. With Manchester City's draw against Bournemouth a few days ago, the Gunners are separated by four points and have secured the trophy. The last few weeks were excellent for Arsenal, winning every one of the last four matches. In the previous game, Mikel Arteta's team won 1-0 against Burnley. The hosts dominated, especially defensively, and recorded another victory.
Mikel Arteta was ecstatic after clinching the Premier League title. However, he kept his feet on the ground and said that he wanted to parade with two trophies. It is clear that Arsenal will not care too much about Sunday's game and use their time to prepare for the Champions League final.
Ben White is injured and will play on Sunday, while Jurrien Timber, David Raya, and Mikel Merino are questionable.
