Arsenal have been handed another all-Premier League tie as they will face London rivals Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The Gunners progressed to the next stage after defeating Brighton 2-0 in the fourth round. Ethan Nwaneri opened the scoring with a neat strike before Bukayo Saka put the seal on victory after coming off the bench.
Mikel Arteta's side are well on the road to securing the first available silverware of the season and will fancy their chances of at least overcoming Palace to reach the semi-finals.
Arsenal to host Crystal Palace in Carabao Cup quarter-final
The draw was made on Wednesday evening after holders Newcastle managed a 2-0 win over Tottenham at St James' Park to continue their defence of their title.
Arsenal were the first name to be drawn, confirming a home tie before Palace were pulled out moments later, setting up a London derby quarter-final clash.
It will be a replay of last season's quarter-final in which the Gunners fought to come from behind and win 3-2 at the Emirates with Gabriel Jesus stealing the headlines with a hat-trick.
Palace have reached this stage after romping to a 3-0 win away to Liverpool in the fourth round. Ismaïla Sarr grabbed a first-half brace to put his side well in control before Yeremy Pino sealed the win late on.
You really don't have to go back far to find when Arsenal last met their south London counterparts as they faced off just last weekend. Arteta's side managed a slender 1-0 win to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
While Palace did ease to victory at Anfield and have proven to be a troublesome side so far this season, the Gunners will be the strong favourites to win this game and progress to the quarter-finals.
Arsenal are looking to win the League Cup for the first time since 1993 and with significant squad depth now to their name, there is no real reason why they shouldn't be making the final and lifting the trophy. Arteta and his squad should view Palace as just another opponent they need to overtake on the long road to silverware.
The tie will be played the week commencing 15 December with a kick-off date set to be confirmed in due course.
