• Arsenal are on nine-game winning run at home

• Palace lost to the Gunners 3-2 at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup quarters a year ago

• Recommended bet: Arsenal/Arsenal in Half Time/Full Time

Arsenal should be too good for a jaded Crystal Palace when the London rivals meet in the last eight of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

This game is being played a week after the rest of the quarter-final ties with the winner set to face Chelsea in the semis and the Gunners are big favourites to progress.

Team news

Arsenal still have plenty of first-teamers in the treatment room with Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera and teen star Max Dowman all ruled out.

Despite the injury issues, Mikel Arteta is still likely to ring the changes with former Palace star Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Jesus, Christian Norgaard and Ethan Nwaneri among those hoping for recalls.

Palace, meanwhile, are without Ismaila Sarr, who has gone to play for Senegal at AFCON, while Daniel Munoz and Daichi Kamada are injured.

Cheick Doucoure, Caleb Kporha, Rio Cardines and Chadi Riad are still on the Eagles' lengthy absentee list, too, so fringe players like Joel Drakes-Thomas, Kaden Rodney, George King and Dean Benamar could all feature for the visitors.

The stats

Arsenal have won four of the last five meetings between the sides at the Emirates, including a 3-2 win at this stage of the EFL Cup 12 months ago.

The Gunners have won their last nine matches at home in all competitions, conceding just three goals in that run.

Palace have failed to win any of their last three games, losing to Manchester City and Leeds in the league while in between they drew 2-2 with KuPS in the Conference League.

Arsenal are on a three-game winning streak after edging out Everton 1-0 on Saturday.

Former Palace ace Eze has scored five times for Arsenal this season, including the winner in the league meeting at the Emirates in October.

Arsenal have knocked out Port Vale (2-0) and Brighton (2-0) so far.

Palace have made it to the last eight with wins over Millwall (4-2 on pens after 1-1 draw) and Liverpool (3-0).

Prediction

Arsenal's priority this season may be winning the Premier League but the Gunners are so strong all round that they are also well in contention to lift the EFL Cup and they should ease past Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Despite the fact Arteta is likely to make changes, the hosts have been so good, particularly at home, that this represents a huge test for the Eagles.

Arsenal head the league at Christmas and they can extend their winning run to four games overall with a comfortable home success over Glasner's men.

Palace, who were hammered 4-1 by Leeds at the weekend, have looked weary after a gruelling recent schedule which, by the end of Tuesday, will have seen them play four times in just 10 days.

Expect Arsenal to progress with the minimum of fuss by edging in front before half-time and then keeping Palace at arms length after the break.
