Crystal Palace make the short trip across London on Tuesday night, facing a daunting task in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.

Oliver Glasner’s side have lost their last two Premier League games and conceded nine goals in their last three matches across all competitions. Unfortunately, a 4-1 defeat to Leeds United on Saturday took a toll on morale.

However, the Eagles already knocked out Liverpool in this competition. Notably, that 3-0 victory showed they can compete with the best on their day. Therefore, they must rediscover that form to upset the Premier League leaders and keep their hopes of a third trophy in 12 months alive.

Currently, Oliver Glasner navigates a challenging period marked by injuries and international absences. Specifically, Ismaila Sarr departed for the Africa Cup of Nations. Furthermore, Daniel Munoz and Daichi Kamada remain sidelined with injuries.

Additionally, the manager must manage the fitness of Jean-Philippe Mateta, who is recovering from a knee injury. Consequently, Christantus Uche looks set to lead the line. In defence, Jaydee Canvot could start alongside Marc Guehi and Chris Richards. Meanwhile, Walter Benitez will likely replace Dean Henderson in goal. Finally, Borna Sosa and Jefferson Lerma expect to come into the starting XI to provide fresh legs.
