Check Out: Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Lineup for EFL Cup QF
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal head into the Carabao Cup quarter-final aiming to recover from a frustrating Premier League draw with Everton.
Injuries have impacted squad selection, but the Gunners will bank on their depth, with youngsters like Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri stepping up in recent games. Arsenal’s dominance in this fixture and their ability to perform in key moments make them favourites for the tie.
Crystal Palace, led by Oliver Glasner, have been on a remarkable resurgence, going unbeaten in their last five Premier League games. Fresh off a 3-1 win at Brighton, the Eagles will look to carry that momentum into this quarter-final.
With Ismaïla Sarr and Eberechi Eze in fine form, Palace have the firepower to challenge Arsenal and will be eager to make history by reaching the League Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2011/12.
Mikel Arteta faces several selection dilemmas, with injuries to key players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Riccardo Calafiori, and Declan Rice, who remains doubtful after a recent knock. Teenager Myles Lewis-Skelly could feature at left-back, while David Raya is expected to start in goal, given the stakes of this quarter-final clash.
Arsenal Predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Jorginho, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Sterling
Palace will be without defender Daniel Muñoz, who is suspended, while Adam Wharton and Matheus França are out due to injuries. Joel Ward is expected to be available after a calf issue, but the Eagles must rely on a reshuffled defence to contain Arsenal’s attacking firepower.
Crystal Palace Predicted XI (3-4-3): Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Clyne, Lerma, Doucouré, Mitchell; Sarr, Nketiah, Eze
Arsenal have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning four of their last five meetings with Crystal Palace. The most recent clash, in January 2024, saw Arsenal thrash Palace 5-0 in the Premier League.
Palace, however, will take inspiration from their recent form, which includes a 3-1 triumph over Brighton and a comeback win over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup Round of 16.
