Arsenal are set to host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, with both teams vying for a coveted spot in the Carabao Cup semi-finals. As favourites to win the tournament, Arsenal are eager to demonstrate why they are the bookmakers’ top pick, while Crystal Palace aim to maintain their momentum following an impressive weekend performance.
The Gunners, who last claimed this trophy in 1993, are keen to regain their winning form after two consecutive Premier League draws left them trailing Liverpool by six points. Manager Mikel Arteta is particularly motivated to add another title to his managerial achievements, having only secured an FA Cup five years ago and often playing second fiddle to Manchester City.
They go into this match as the favourites to secure a spot in the semi-final at 2/5 with CopyBet while Crystal Palace are 13/2 and a draw is 7/2 after 90 minutes and to force penalties. If it goes to a shoot-out, the Gunners have managed four wins on penalties out of the seven times they have been forced to that conclusion.
In their cup journey so far, Arsenal have had a relatively smooth ride, defeating League One’s Bolton Wanderers and Championship side Preston North End. This match presents a crucial opportunity for them to rediscover their scoring prowess. Despite scoring 15 goals across four matches in various competitions, they’ve managed just one in their last two league games, earning only two points from a possible six and narrowing Liverpool’s lead to two points as the festive period approaches.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace enter this clash brimming with confidence after a decisive victory over fierce rivals Brighton & Hove Albion, ending a 1,391-day winless streak against the Seagulls. The Eagles have already dispatched Norwich City, QPR, and Aston Villa en route to this quarter-final stage. They are eager to reach the semi-finals for just the fifth time in their history and for the first time in over a decade.
