The final quarter-final match of the EFL Cup takes place on Tuesday, as Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium. This meeting will be the second time this season that these two sides have faced each other, with the Gunners taking a 1-0 league victory.
Ahead of this fixture, we have picked out a 36/1 Bet Builder Tip, as well as our best predictions for the upcoming tie in North London.
Arsenal to win & Over 2.5 goals - 6/4
The Gunners are the favourites for this fixture, as the Premier League leaders head into this game with three straight victories in all competitions against Everton (0-1), Wolves (2-1) and Club Brugge (0-3). The two sides have met this season, with Arsenal coming out on top in a 1-0 win. Crystal Palace's schedule will mean their options will be threadbare, and because of this, the Eagles have gone three games without a win in all competitions.
Eberechi Eze to score - 15/8
Eberechi Eze was an unused substitute in Arsenal's win against Everton, and the former Crystal Palace player has already scored one goal in this competition against Port Vale. Interestingly, Eze was the deciding factor in the league game at the Emirates between the two clubs this season, scoring the only goal in the game.
