Beating Palace will take Gunners closer to lifting League Cup for the Ist time since 1993
-
With Arsenal at the top of the English Premier League tree heading into Christmas, manager Mikel Arteta will now turn his attention to his side’s League Cup quarterfinal clash against Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium on Dec 23.
The Gunners brushed aside Port Vale and Brighton & Hove Albion to reach the last eight, while Oliver Glasner’s Eagles defeated Millwall and clinched a convincing victory over Liverpool to get to this stage.
It has been so long since Arsenal last won the League Cup in 1993 - only the second time after 1987 — that none of their current first-team squad were born yet that year.
But Wembley is now within touching distance again.
“Now the most important one is the Carabao Cup against Palace because it’s the next game that we have,” Arteta said, when asked how essential he views the League Cup amid a Premier League title chase and the busy festive schedule.
