Data experts predict outcome of key Premier League games including Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace

Premier League data experts at Opta Analyst have predicted the outcome of this week's key top flight fixtures, which involve London outfits Arsenal, Crystal Palace and Chelsea.

The Gunners host Mauricio Pochettino's men at the Emirates Stadium tonight in the latest key fixture in Mikel Arteta's title pursuit. The north London side could go four points clear at the top of the table with a win, although the rampant Manchester City would hold two games in hand.

Chelsea won't be easy opponents to see off, having scored 17 goals in their last five Premier League outings, although the visitors will have to bounce back from FA Cup defeat against Manchester City at the weekend.

The Opta supercomputer is siding with the home side and predicts a 51% chance of an Arsenal win. A Chelsea victory is given a 22.5% probability with a draw at 26.5% - the potential absence of the prolific Cole Palmer no doubt not helping Chelsea's cause.

In south London, Crystal Palace are in midweek action as Newcastle United visit Selhurst Park. The Eagles are flying high this week, buoyed by drubbing West Ham 5-2 in front of the home crowd on Sunday.

Even after that showing, the Opta experts expect a Europe-chasing Newcastle United side to get the better of Oliver Glasner's side. Eddie Howe's men are 41.6% to win the match with a draw at 28.4% and a home victory at 30%.

Other results of significance to London sides will come from the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. Liverpool are vying with Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League title and it's no surprise that Opta can't imagine the struggling Toffees getting the better of their local rivals.

A Liverpool win is given a 56.2% probability with Everton just 18.1% to keep the three points at Goodison. Meanwhile, the Champions travel to Brighton and Pep Guardiola's team are 57% to pick up another victory at the AMEX Stadium.
