Match Facts

This is a winner-takes-all match. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the game goes straight to a penalty shootout (per EFL Cup rules for this round).

Arsenal is currently flying high at the top of the Premier League. However, Crystal Palace has become a "giant killer" this season under Oliver Glasner, having already knocked out Aston Villa in earlier rounds.

Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad slightly given the heavy Christmas schedule, likely handing starts to Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri. Palace is expected to go full-strength with Eberechi Eze leading the attack.

Arsenal has won their last three encounters against Palace, but the Eagles famously held the Gunners to a draw at the Emirates last season, proving they can frustrate the hosts.

Arsenal remains without Gabriel Martinelli (minor knock), while Palace is missing key midfielder Adam Wharton due to surgery.

Prediction of AI

Based on home advantage and squad depth, the AI predicts a 2-1 victory for Arsenal.

While Crystal Palace’s high-pressing style and defensive organization will make it a difficult night for the Gunners, Arsenal's superior bench strength is expected to be the difference in the second half. However, given Palace’s recent form, a 1-1 draw leading to penalties is a high-probability secondary outcome if the Eagles can score early and sit deep.
