Arsenal Hosts Crystal Palace in Carabao Cup Quarter-Final at Emirates
The Carabao Cup quarter-final between Arsenal and Crystal Palace is set to kick off at 8pm GMT at the Emirates Stadium. The winner will advance to face Chelsea in the semi-finals.
Arsenal's lineup includes Gabriel Jesus starting his first match since January, marking his 100th appearance for the Gunners. Mikel Merino captains the team. For Crystal Palace, Eberechi Eze features against his former club, with Walter Benítez starting in goal and Dean Henderson among the substitutes. Palace manager Oliver Glasner is managing a fatigued squad due to the team's three games in six days from European commitments.
In last season's same competition, Arsenal secured a 3-2 victory over Palace after trailing 1-0, with Gabriel Jesus scoring a hat-trick. Pre-match notes highlight that Palace have won their first major trophy recently, Gabriel Jesus has returned from an ACL injury, and Eze has rejoined Arsenal from Crystal Palace.
