Arsenal are three games away from Wembley as they host Crystal Palace in the Carbao Cup quarter-finals.
Mikel Arteta is hoping to add to his sole major honour as Gunners boss, having lifted the FA Cup in 2020 in his first season in charge.
The North Londoners booking a semi-final spot would be much needed after successive Premier League draws.
Palace are looking to extend their cup run after seeing off Aston Villa in the previous round, with the Eagles coming into the clash off a 3-1 win over rivals Brighton.
Check out the team news for the last-eight tie below.
