Arsenal v Crystal Palace live stream and match preview
Looking for a Arsenal v Crystal Palace live stream? We’ve got you covered. Arsenal v Crystal Palace isn’t being televised in the UK, but is on NBC in the US. American abroad? Use a VPN to watch the Premier League with your subscription (opens in new tab) from anywhere.
Arsenal can stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points with a win over struggling Crystal Palace at the Emirates.
With title rivals Manchester City in FA Cup quarter-final action this weekend, the Gunners have a golden chance to extend their lead with what would be a sixth consecutive league victory.
They will be huge favourites, as Palace are yet to win a game in any competition in 2023, a streak of 12 games that saw Patrick Vieira lose his job this week.
Arsenal won the first meeting of the season 2-0 back in August, when a Gabriel Martinelli strike and Marc Guehi own goal proved decisive.
Kick-off is at 2.00pm GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
