A spot in the EFL Cup semis will be at stake when Arsenal and Crystal Palace square off against each other at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Gunners failed to impress in a goalless draw with Everton and, no doubt, they are eager to get back on course as soon as possible. All Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, and Thomas Partey are in line for a recall to the starting XI, while all Calafiori, Tomiyasu, White, and Zinchenko continue to miss out with injury.
The Eagles, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 3-1 win over Brighton, but given their negative run at Emirates Stadium, we are tempted to place our bets on Mikel Arteta’s troops. It has to be noted that Arsenal crushed Crystal Palace 5-0 in their last meeting at the venue. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, both Kamada and Nketiah should be recalled to the starting eleven.
Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Crystal Palace
