Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Arsenal and Crystal Palace aim to edge closer to Wembley as they face each other at Emirates Stadium in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, December 18th, at 7:30 PM.
This will be the first of two meetings between the London clubs in three days. The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event.
Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace (11/2 with Betway)
Arsenal have won three of their last five league games by at least two goals, including a 5-2 win over West Ham and a 2-0 victory over Man United. Arsenal have won the last four meetings between these two sides with three of those wins being by two or more goals.
Ethan Nwaneri to score anytime (13/5 with Betway)
Ethan Nwaneri has scored in both of Arsenal’s last two EFL Cup matches, totalling three goals. The youngster is enjoying a break out season and has become an important part of Mikel Arteta’s squad, making 14 appearances and scoring four goals. With Arteta likely to play a slightly weakened squad, Nwaneri could well start the game and have a big impact.

How both teams go into Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
A promising run in the EFL Cup has somewhat eased Crystal Palace’s disappointing performance in the Premier League. The Eagles started strong with a commanding 4-0 victory against Norwich. They followed this with closely contested away wins against Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa, securing their winning goals in the 64th minute after initially taking the lead.
Meanwhile, Arsenal entered the EFL Cup in the third round due to their Champions League commitments and showcased their dominance with a decisive 5-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers. They continued their impressive form by defeating Preston North End 3-0 in the next round. The last time Arsenal reached the League Cup semi-finals was in the 2021/22 season when Liverpool eliminated them. Their most recent triumph in the competition dates back to 1993, although they have finished as runners-up thrice since then.

Arsenal vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
This marks the first non-Premier League meeting between Arsenal and Crystal Palace since their FA Cup fifth-round replay in 1998.
