Arsenal look to recover as they host Crystal Palace

Arsenal are looking to recover from their weekend disappointment when they host Crystal Palace in a Carabao Cup quarter-final on Wednesday.

The Gunners drew 0-0 with Everton on Saturday to drop more points in the Premier League title race and were unable to capitalise on Liverpool being held by Fulham.

Now, they must dust themselves down as Mikel Arteta plots a return to Wembley. For all of Arsenal’s progress under the Spaniard, the trophy return is relatively low and a domestic cup victory could be a major boost during a slightly more difficult season this time around.

Palace, meanwhile, continued their recent good form after a difficult season with a 3-1 win over rivals Brighton on Sunday.

Declan Rice could feature for the Gunners despite coming off against Everton with a knock. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori will miss the game, along with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Arsenal look favourites at home, although much depends on what kind of team Arteta deploys.
