Arsenal travels to Selhurst Park for a clash with Crystal Palace just three days after eliminating the side from the Carabao Cup.
After an early goal by Jean-Philippe Mateta, Wednesday looked like it could be another tumultuous cup night for Mikel Arteta. A second half hat-trick from Gabriel Jesus lifted the Gunners to the semifinals as Arteta searches for another piece of silverware.
As such, Jesus should be in line to receive another start. Plus, Arteta confirmed both Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori are available for selection this weekend after recovering.
Here's how Arsenal could line up when it travels to Selhurst Park.
