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.

fatgooner‘s got humour He’s the giggle at a funeral, gets everybody’s disapproval
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.
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.
Not a bad draw. COYG!!!
Good draw and a good chance to start collecting silverware.
