The EFL Cup returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Crystal Palace lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in a crucial quarterfinal fixture at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will be determined to win this game.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Preview
