Arsenal v Crystal Palace Odds & Match Preview
Kick-off: 7.30pm UK time, Wednesday 18th December 2024
A place in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup is up for grabs when London rivals Arsenal and Crystal Palace do battle in the first match of a double header on Wednesday evening.
Merciless front line
Yet another Premier League round of fixtures with Liverpool dropping points and Arsenal failing to take advantage of the situation. Mikel Arteta’s troops were unable to breach Everton’s defence and a well-rested Toffees side came home from North London with one point to their name, frustrating Arsenal throughout while offering next to nothing in the final third. The gap between the Gunners and league leaders Liverpool is just six points but Arne Slot’s men can increase this to nine should they triumph in their game-in-hand and Arteta now finds himself coming in for more criticism following another disappointing attacking display from his previously merciless front line.
Sent packing
Arsenal can nevertheless turn their attention to the Carabao Cup and hopes will be high that they can find a way past Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening. The Gunners have been sent packing in all-but-three of their last ten appearances at this stage of proceedings and have failed to lift the trophy in over three decades, however Crystal Palace have only made it as far as the last four of the tournament with semi-final appearances in 1995, 2001 and 2012.
Buoyant mood
The Eagles will be in buoyant mood following their 3-1 win over arch-rivals Brighton & Hove Albion in their most recent Premier League outing and this extended their unbeaten league run to five games. Nevertheless, the south London outfit have lost each of their last four against Arsenal and while we envisage them frustrating a somewhat toothless Arsenal side in this midweek clash, we’ll be siding with the home side to manage an all-important goal to see them through to the semi-finals of the competition.
Back Arsenal to win 1-0 at best odds of 6/1
