Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Carabao Cup will kick off its quarterfinal on Wednesday as Arsenal is set to host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are looking to recover from their weekend disappointment while Palace come in great form.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal is coming to their Carabao Cup on the back of a frustrating result in their weekend game, but they remained unbeaten in each of their last eight matches in a row. Mikel Arteta’s men were held to a goalless draw on Saturday against Everton at home, with the result seeing them drop more points in the race for the Premier League title. The goalless draw against Everton at the weekend was the first time this season that Mikel Arteta’s men failed to score on their home soil this season. Mikel Arteta’s men were ruthless in their round of 16 qualification round as they beat Preston 3-0. They will now be hoping to hit the ground running against Crystal Palace to secure their place in the semifinal of the Carabao Cup.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form
Crystal Palace will head to the Emirates Stadium in good form despite making a slow start to the new campaign, as they are currently on a five-match unbeaten run in the league. Palace, after playing an entertaining 2-2 draw against the defending champions Manchester City, then followed it up with their third win of the season by beating their rivals Brighton 3-1 on Sunday. Oliver Glasner’s men reached this stage of the Carabao Cup competitions by beating Norwich City, Queens Park Rangers, and Aston Villa, and this would provide the major boost needed in facing Arsenal at the Emirates. However, Palace are yet to taste victory against the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium since 2019 and as a result, they are considered underdogs in this game.
