Arsenal return to the Emirates on a seven game unbeaten run and will want to tighten their grip on second place. The visitors, Crystal Palace are going through a drop in form after picking up just one point from their last three games. I’m tipping Arsenal to take the most corners and Leandro Trossard to have 1+ shot on target at 1.83.
Arsenal To Dominate the Corner Count?
Arsenal have won 227 corners this season which is an average of 6.8 per match, second only to Tottenham’s 231. The Gunners have also taken 126 corners in just 16 league games at the Emirates (7.8 per match), much higher than their overall average.
Palace have produced 150 corners in total which is an average of 4.5 corners per game. They also average 10.7 shots per away game, compared with Arsenal’s 14.3 home shots. More shots usually translate into more deflections and saves creating more corners. This showed in Arsenal’s most recent league outing, a 4–0 demolition of Ipswich in which the Gunners earned 12 corners to their opponents zero. In fact, Arsenal have not lost a league corner match‑up since facing Brentford on 1st of January which is a run of 14 straight games.
Trossard Hitting The Target
The Belgian forward is finishing the season in some great form. Trossard has fired 10 shots and registered one shot on target across his last three Premier League appearances, which includes finding the net twice against Ipswich and once against Everton. Crucially, Arteta has trusted him with plenty of minutes with 84 minutes or more in each of the last three league matches.
Arsenal’s aggressive, high‑possession style at home should create a large number of corners for Arsenal once again and Trossard’s shot stats being very promising, our tip looks like great value for our punters!
