Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Carabao Cup latest score and updates - LIVE!

3 hours ago

Arsenal needs to secure a strong performance and a good outcome to boost team morale as they face Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup this evening. After consecutive draws with Fulham and Everton, the Gunners’ hopes for the Premier League title have been dented, increasing the urgency to achieve success in the cup competitions.

On Tuesday, Mikel Arteta emphasized that he has secured three trophies during his time as Arsenal's manager, which includes two Community Shields. However, there is growing pressure on him to achieve more success as he enters his fifth year in charge. Despite this, he has decided to mix up his team, bringing in players like Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling, and Kieran Tierney into the starting lineup.

Palace are enjoying a five-match streak without a loss and enter this match feeling confident after a strong victory against their rivals, Brighton, in their last outing. A win tonight would equal their longest unbeaten streak in this tournament. This is the first of two matches these teams will face in quick succession, as Arsenal will be visiting Selhurst Park for a league clash this weekend. Stay updated with all the action through Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below, which includes expert commentary from Simon Collings and Dom Smith on-site!
