Crystal Palace travels across London on Tuesday night for a challenging Carabao Cup quarter-final.
Oliver Glasner’s team is in a tough spot, having lost their last two Premier League matches and conceded nine goals in three games across all competitions. A recent 4-1 defeat to Leeds United hit morale hard.
Despite this, the Eagles have previously eliminated Liverpool in this tournament, showcasing their ability to perform well. They will need to regain that form to challenge the Premier League leaders and maintain their quest for a third trophy within a year.
Oliver Glasner faces a difficult situation with injuries and international call-ups affecting the squad. Ismaila Sarr is currently at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Daniel Munoz and Daichi Kamada are out due to injuries.
The manager also needs to assess the fitness of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is recovering from a knee issue. As a result, Christantus Uche is expected to start upfront. In defense, Jaydee Canvot may join Marc Guehi and Chris Richards. Walter Benitez is likely to replace Dean Henderson in goal. Additionally, Borna Sosa and Jefferson Lerma are expected to be included in the starting lineup for added energy.
Crystal Palace predicted XI: Benitez; Richards, Guehi, Canvot; Clyne, Lerma, Wharton, Sosa; Pino, Devenny; Uche
The Carabao Cup match will be held at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, December 23, 2025. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on ITV1 and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage beginning at 19:30 GMT.
