Arsenal vs Crystal Palace Prediction and Betting Tips | 23rd December 2025

Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening. Mikel Arteta's side head into the contest with a spring in their step, sitting at the top of the Premier League table with 39 points from 17 matches.

They eked out a narrow 1-0 win over Everton in their latest outing. It was their third win on the trot in all competitions. The Gunners have done an exceptional job at home and have won 11 of their last 12 matches at the Emirates.

Arteta's side has earned plenty of plaudits this term for their defensive resilience and it has been key to their title charge. The Carabao Cup has eluded them in recent history with Arsenal last winning the competition in 1993.

However, the Gunners have now progressed to the quarter-finals four times in the last six seasons. They have been victorious in their last two Carabao Cup quarter-final ties but were eliminated in the semi-final stage on both occasions.

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace are under the cosh as they prepare for Tuesday's visit to the Emirates. The Eagles were beaten 4-1 by freshly promoted Leeds United during the weekend. They need to find a way to plug their leaky defence after conceding nine goals in their last three matches across all competitions.

Oliver Glasner's side are struggling for consistency as they navigate the added burden of the UEFA Conference League.
