"Arsenal look radically different from the side that beat Everton, while Oliver Glasner makes just three changes to his Palace team. Gabriel Jesus makes his first start since January and it's his 100th appearance for the Gunners, too. Mikel Merino is Arsenal's captain as Eberechi Eze lines up against his old pals. Dean Henderson is the big Palace name left on the bench, with Argentina's Walter Benitez taking the gloves."
"Yep, Arsenal hosted Palace a year ago in this very tournament, in the very same round. From 1-0 down at half-time, Arsenal roared back with a 3-2 victory, courtesy of a Gabriel Jesus hat-trick. A lot has happened since: Palace have won their first major trophy, Jesus has just returned from an ACL injury and Eberechi Eze has joined the other side. While Palace have grown in stature, their task this evening remains lofty. This'll be their third match in six days"
Arsenal and Crystal Palace meet in the Carabao Cup with Arsenal rotating heavily but retaining quality. Gabriel Jesus makes his first start since January and marks his 100th appearance for the Gunners. Mikel Merino captains Arsenal while Eberechi Eze faces former teammates at Palace. Oliver Glasner makes only three changes to Palace's side and leaves Dean Henderson on the bench with Walter Benitez starting. Palace carry fixture congestion, playing their third match in six days amid European commitments. Arsenal sit top of the Premier League and compete in the Champions League, making the cup a lower domestic priority for some supporters.
