Arsenal will host Crystal Palace tonight in the Carabao Cup quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium.

After a frustrating 0-0 draw with Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, Mikel Arteta will be seeking a strong response in this London derby.

While Arteta heavily rotated his squad in the previous two League Cup rounds, we expect him to limit changes to five, with a semi-final spot on the line.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya is likely to start in goal, given the significance of the fixture, despite Tommy Setford debuting in the previous round due to Neto being cup-tied.

In defense, Arteta might rest Gabriel Magalhaes, who recently returned from a hamstring injury. Jakub Kiwior could partner William Saliba in central defense, while Jurrien Timber and Myles Lewis-Skelly are expected to retain their spots as right and left-backs.

Kieran Tierney could be an option at left-back, but he appears to be out of favor with Arteta and may leave next month.

In midfield, Declan Rice might only make a bench appearance after a minor knock, and Mikel Merino could be rested due to injury concerns. This could see Jorginho and Thomas Partey forming the double pivot, with Martin Odegaard operating as the attacking midfielder.

In attack, Bukayo Saka is a certainty on the right, but Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli might make way for Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. Jesus needs a chance to rediscover his scoring form, while Sterling could take the left-wing role with Martinelli and Trossard out of form.
