It’s a London derby in the League Cup, when Crystal Palace visits Arsenal FC for a quarterfinal clash. Arsenal keep on winning, but doing so in a much more pragmatic way as of late. They are not playing beautiful swash-buckling football right now. And with festive period fixture congestion about to start, manager Mikel Arteta will likely rotate his side against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal Preview Material: Team News Starting Lineup Prediction
This is the only League Cup match in midweek. There is also no European football again until well into the New Year. And with no league clashes until Friday/Boxing Day, this is indeed a strange week, as it has no midweek football (beyond this match).
We would say that Christmas is the reason for that, but you know how things are these days. The league and their television partners do not have any problems at all with putting teams to work during the Yuletide! Ebeneezer Scrooge would be so proud of that!
