These two meet in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the second successive season and Arsenal will be looking for a repeat of their 3-2 home win from 12 months ago, when Gabriel Jesus ’ hat-trick downed the Eagles .
Palace also lost on their most recent visit to the Emirates , former favourite Eberechi Eze netting the only goal of the game in October ’s Premier League encounter, but generally the trip north of the Thames has not been so bad in recent years for the FA Cup holders.
Prior to this season, Palace had picked up four draws and a win in their previous seven league visits to Arsenal , albeit with the Gunners winning the other two fixtures 5-0 and 4-1 .
But, with Arsenal having kept 16 clean sheets in 25 matches this season, we’re backing the Premier League leaders to record another clinically efficient win tomorrow night, with a victory and under 3.5 goals in total @ 6/5 our prediction.

Form Guides
Arsenal Form Guide
Saturday’s 1-0 win at Everton , courtesy of Viktor Gyokeres ’ first-half penalty, ensured Arsenal would be top of the Premier League at Christmas for the third time in four years.
Mikel Arteta ’s side have not managed to convert that into a title success yet but they are looking in ominous form both domestically and in Europe.
They are two points clear of Manchester City at the Premier League summit and three clear of Aston Villa in what is now looking increasingly like a three-horse title race, with fourth-placed Chelsea already a massive 10 points behind the Gunners .
Arsenal have won 12 of 13 matches at home this term, the other being a draw with Man City , and with four of their next five games at the Emirates – against Palace , Brighton , Villa and Liverpool – this could be a key period for the Gunners .
BOYLE Sports ’ Sub Swap feature is ideally suited to Arsenal due to their vast array of attacking options. For example, if you back Gyokeres ( 9/2 ), Saka ( 6/1 ) or Trossard ( 6/1 ) for first goalscorer and they are replaced with the game still goalless then that bet would switch to his replacement – with attackers Jesus , Eze , Madueke , Martinelli or Merino all having started on the Gunners bench against Everton .
Crystal Palace Form Guide
Palace have lost their way somewhat in the lead-up to Christmas with comprehensive defeats to Manchester City and Leeds either side of a Conference League draw against 10-man KuPS Kuopio .
That has seen them drop to eighth in the Premier League and 10th in Europe, and Oliver Glasner will know a big improvement is required if they want to add the Carabao Cup to their FA Cup success.
The Eagles are without a home win since the start of November so may be happy to be on the road, but a trip to the Emirates is never easy and quadruple-chasing Arsenal to be leading at half-time and full-time @ 11/8 is tempting.
