After coasting to a 3-0 win at Preston North End, Arsenal have been paired with Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
As a result of the draw, the Gunners will face the Eagles twice in a week in the build-up to Christmas.
The cup game will be a midweek kick-off at the Emirates a few days after we face Everton at home on 14 December and we’ll then travel to Selhurst Park for a 5.30pm kick-off on the following Saturday.
It’s the first time in 14 years that the quarter-final draw is made up exclusively by Premier League teams.

Eddie to score the winner?
Own goal.
fatgooner‘s got humour He’s the giggle at a funeral, gets everybody’s disapproval
He did break his duck for Palace in this competition, back in September. Scored against QPR. His only goal for Palace so far…
Tidy draw ans good one for us , bye bye spurs
Couldn’t have been a better draw. We can show Palace two completely different teams and still cook them twice.
Not true. Palace are a decent side. Home advantage really important.
This could finally be our year in the league cup.
yes, if recoveries go as planned by then we can field two strong teams against them Martin in the cup and Ethan in the PL,
Yeah, I was dreading Liverpool (a), but a home draw at this stage is as good as it gets, also reminds me of Ian Wright scoring at Selhurst Park in the original bruised banana kit.
Kiwomya scored against Palace too but maybe that was league
Not a bad draw. COYG!!!
Good draw and a good chance to start collecting silverware.
We should go and win this now. No fear.
Glasner had a top that going with CP last season, but losing Olise and Anderson has hit them hard. They lack physicality in midfield, an area where Arsenal are supreme. A good matchup in that sense. They will give us a rest but will be more concerned with staying up than knocking us out and their second string is not very good. Really happy with this draw.
Not sure when this can fit in. Palace are due to play a league game Sunday before and arsenal women are using Emirates on the Wednesday
