The Gunners edged a thrilling Carabao Cup quarter-final between the two on Wednesday night, running out 3-2 winners at the Emirates Stadium to reach the semi-finals.

Now, Mikel Arteta takes his side to Selhurst Park with eyes on closing the gap on Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table.

Arsenal, who many would have expected to seriously challenge for the title again this season, sit third in the table and four points behind the Blues in second.

They laboured in the 0-0 draw with Everton last weekend, though will hope Wednesday’s display has breathed new life into their title challenge.

Palace, meanwhile, may have lost earlier this week but have enjoyed a strong run of late after a difficult start to the season.

Oliver Glasner’s side beat rivals Brighton 3-1 last weekend to extend their unbeaten run to five League games.

Crystal Palace vs Arsenal prediction

Palace certainly ran Arsenal close on Wednesday night and were perhaps unfortunate not to have won. Still, with the goals seemingly back for Arteta’s side, it’s difficult to look past the Gunners.

Arsenal to win, 2-1.
