Arsenal – Crystal Palace Quarter-finals on Tuesday, 23.12.25 at 21:00
Sometimes you always see each other twice in life: Almost exactly one year after Crystal Palace failed in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup against Arsenal, the team is now again in the round of the best 8 at the Emirates.
While the gunners had only wrestled down the opponent after a hard fight with a 3:2 victory a year ago, I am now preparing for a long open fight again on Christmas Eve.
As currently the second-best away team in the Premier League, the Eagles are now finally good for a defensive performance in the Cup against the home side who are probably not playing with the best line-up.
Arsenal vs Crystal Palace AI predictions:
Artificial intelligence is also always good for a surprise, for once it has a goalscorer bet on the list as the first Arsenal Crystal Palace AI tip.
A goal by Gabriel Jesus (at any time) at odds of 3.00 does not seem to be a bad idea to me either – after all, the goalgetter is good from experience, so to speak:
At the EFL quarter-finals held at the same venue a year ago, the Brazilian had almost single-handedly led his Gunners into the semi-finals with a hat-trick against Crystal Palace.
Predicted chance of winning:

Victory Crystal Palace |

Already from the goal scorer bet it can be guessed that Arsenal also has the much better cards from the point of view of the AI on Christmas Eve.
This is based on even clearer signs, as can be seen from the tip “Win Arsenal with handicap -1”, with which the bet can be almost 2.5 times.
The gunners had “only” won the Premier League duel in front of their home crowd 1-0 in October. However, since this is a die-or-do game, the guests should actually be forced to dissolve the defense in the event of a deficit, which can provoke further goals conceded.
Nevertheless, the spectacle factor on Tuesday will be limited, as can be seen from the final tip “Both meet: No” at odds of 1.70. In view of the Gunners’ strong defence, this is a recommendation that is valid at almost every Arsenal home game:
However, since the impacts in the Emirates have increased a bit recently, I trust the strong Eagles to speak offensively in the EFL Cup!
