Crystal Palace have gone five league matches unbeaten (with two wins and three draws), their longest such run of the season. They have lost just one of their last eight Premier League games (won three, drawn four).

The Gunners have lost just two of their last 19 away league games against Crystal Palace (W10, D7) - both finished 3-0.

Arsenal are looking for a fifth consecutive league win over Palace. They have won the previous four by an aggregate of 12-2.

Palace, meanwhile, have lost their last two home matches against Arsenal, failing to score in either.

Oliver Glasner makes three changes to the Crystal Palace side that faced Arsenal during the week. Nathanial Clyne, Daichi Kamada and Chris Richards come in with Eberechi Eze, Caleb Kporha and Trevoh Chalobah dropping out.

For Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus keeps his place in the team after his midweek hat-trick. Mikel Arteta makes seven other changes and brings William Saliba, Gabriel and Myles Lewis-Skelly into the back line with Jurrien Timber.

In midfield Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey (who is pushed up after playing at right-back in the Carabao Cup) are joined by Kai Havertz while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are placed either side of Jesus in the forward line.

Does Gabriel Jesus start after his hat-trick in midweek?

Arsenal are looking for a fifth consecutive league win over Palace. They have won the previous four by an aggregate of 12-2.

Palace have also lost their last two home matches against Arsenal, failing to score in either.

Gabriel Jesus admitted he was under pressure to deliver for Arsenal prior to his goal blitz which sealed his side’s progression to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

Heading into Wednesday’s last-eight fixture with Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium, Jesus had scored just once this season – in the previous round against Preston – and only twice in 2024.

But Jesus rolled back the years to score a 27-minute second-half treble as Arsenal staged a fightback to see off Palace and book their place in the final four.

On the Arsenal manager’s five-year anniversary, 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly hailed Mikel Arteta for the impact he has had on the Gunners.

“It’s incredible,” Lewis-Skelly said, when quizzed on the culture Arteta has established at the Gunners.

“The team he has built with the coaches, you can just sense around the ground that the energy is always high, and there are positive vibes.

“It has been such a good transition for me, and he (Arteta) has helped me a lot with how to help the team out and just how to be a better person.

“We aim to be winning trophies this season. That’s our goal. We want to strive to win and you have to be in competitions to win them.”

Gabriel Jesus scored a second-half hat-trick as Arsenal staged an impressive fightback to book their place in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup with a 3-2 win against Crystal Palace.

The home side were staring at an underwhelming exit from the competition at half-time after Jean-Philippe Mateta’s opener for Palace inside just four minutes.

But Jesus, who had scored just once this season heading into Wednesday’s fixture, fired a treble in the second period with substitutes Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka both central to his haul.
