Arsenal hosts Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, aiming to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Mikel Arteta’s team sits at the top of the Premier League. They recently won 1-0 against Everton, ensuring they will be at the top during Christmas. Now, their focus shifts to the cup, where a semi-final match against Chelsea awaits the winner.
Arsenal has won their last nine home matches, boosting their confidence to repeat their earlier victory over Palace and advance to the final four.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta is likely to make some changes to the squad despite the importance of the match. Gabriel Jesus may start in attack, possibly taking the place of weekend goal-scorer Viktor Gyokeres. Last season, Jesus scored a hat-trick in this round of the tournament.
In defense, injuries to Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes limit options. However, young player Joshua Nichols could get a chance at right-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly is set to play on the left. In midfield, Eberechi Eze will want to shine against his former team, likely joining Christian Norgaard and Mikel Merino. Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli will add speed on the wings.

Predicted XI: Kepa; Nichols, Saliba, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly; Eze, Norgaard, Merino; Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli
