Prologue

Arsenal went back to the top of the Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton at their impressive new Hill-Dickinson Stadium on Saturday evening, to lead the table at Christmas. 

While the country's top divsision appears to be a race between Arsenal and Manchester City - we surely can't include Aston Villa, not least because they have two tough trips to London after December 25 at Chelsea, and the Emirates - the Carabao Cup could also be a contest between the top two teams in England. 

If Arsenal can get past Oliver Glasner's impressive, though overworked side - with the quarter-final clash being their fourth in only nine days - the Gunners face a two-legged clash against Chelsea. While City have been drawn against holders Newcastle. 

The North London giants have a meagre two wins in this tournament, albeit having lost in the final a whopping six times over the decades, the League Cup offers a genuine chance for silverware for Mikel Arteta - should he decide to field a strong enough side. 

With the race for the Premier League and the Champions League hotting up, the prospect of playing a strong side against the Eagles appears unlikely. While it may be enough for victory against the south Londoners, a weakened starting XI may not be enough to overcome Chelsea's billion pound squad over two tough matches. Time will tell, but first Arsenal need to navigate FA Cup winners Palace, who deserve great kudos for their acheivements under Glasner.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace team news

Arsenal

While hugely influential centre-back Gabriel is back in individual training as he recovers from an adductor injury, the London derby comes too soon for the powerful Brazil defender. 

The same applies for Kai Havertz, who is set to return to first-team training very soon, along with Ben White after both suffered hamstring injuries of varying seriousness.

The match comes just over a year to the day since Jesus picked up an ACL injury during the sides quarter-final clash in the same competition at the same venue 12 months ago. The blow came at a bad time for the Brazil attacker who was on a fine run of form, and the hope is the former Manchester City forward can continue in the same vein. 

Crystal Palace

Fixture pile-ups are starting to take their toll as the Eagles face their fourth match in only nine days.

Oliver Glasner made 11 changes for the last two matches, failing to win either, losing to KuPS from Finland in the Conference League as well as a 4-1 thrashing at struggling Leeds last time out. 

It doesn't get any easier for the Austrian boss, who could be missing up to seven first-team players for Tuesday’s cup clash.
