Arsenal will get a welcome distraction from their faltering Premier League title bid, as they take on Crystal Palace. The Gunners are going well under Mikel Arteta in the Champions League but finding domestic action tough currently. They welcome a Palace side that have been slowly clicking into gear in recent weeks and fresh off the back of a win at Brighton, they will be up for this test.

Arsenal
Back to back draws in the Premier League have left Arsenal chasing both Chelsea and Liverpool in the title race, making the Carabao Cup a welcome distraction. The Gunners are still plugging away in pursuit of silverware but look to be struggling to find consistency and form currently. That said, they have huge quality in their ranks and with over half of the campaign to be played they are firmly in the mix for the title with most Premier League betting sites.

Neto, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Tierney, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Jorginho, Trossard, Jesus, Nwaneri & Sterling.
Crystal Palace

A solid home point against Manchester City was backed up with a great win on the road at Brighton and they look to be full of confidence once more. Palace haven’t been operating at the sharp end of the Carabao Cup for a few seasons and how they would love to land some silverware.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction
This should be a fantastic contest at the Emirates Stadium, with so much at stake for both teams. The Gunners are going ok in the Premier League, without pulling up any trees and this is a chance for their fringe players to fire. Palace meanwhile will also be shuffling the pack a touch and will come across London without fear, but Arsenal should take another step towards Carabao Cup glory here.
