Despite being one of England's most successful clubs in terms of major trophies Arsenal have, perhaps surprisingly, not enjoyed huge historical success in the League Cup.
However, they have still lifted the trophy twice, in 1987 and 1993. Palace are the first Premier League opponents for the Gunners in the Carabao Cup this season, Arteta's side having reached the last eight with wins over lower league Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End.
The boss
Mikel Arteta sits third in the list of longest-serving Premier League managers, with only Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Brentford boss Thomas Frank already in place when Arteta joined the Gunners in December 2019.
An FA Cup triumph in his first season followed, with a 2-1 win over London rivals Chelsea at Wembley. Since then Arteta has twice taken the Gunners close to a first Premier League title since 2004 - but has narrowly lost out to Manchester City two years on the bounce.
The Spaniard previously enjoyed a five-year spell as a player at the Emirates, signed by Arsene Wenger in 2011 after successful spells in British football at both Rangers and Everton.
