Glasner must start Uche for Crystal Palace vs Arsenal, he was one of the few bright spots from this weekend | OneFootball

Crystal Palace will bid to put their 4-1 defeat at Leeds United behind them when they face Arsenal in the League Cup on Tuesday.

Eagles boss Oliver Glasner will be expecting a response from his side, even though the odds are stacked against them.

Palace will be without key players, including Ismaila Sarr and Daniel Munoz.

Jean-Philippe Mateta is also playing through a knock that is clearly affecting him and may need to be rested for the Arsenal clash.

Glasner must start Christantus Uche for Palace against Arsenal after his brief cameo at Leeds on Saturday.

Uche received only 13 minutes but grabbed the chance with both hands, drawing the penalty that led to Palace’s late consolation goal.

After a slow start to life at the club, Uche has found his groove and could prove pivotal to Palace’s chances of progressing into the League Cup semi-finals.

The 22-year-old showed hunger, which will appeal to Glasner. He wants to see more desire from his players. The Austrian tactician should start the Nigerian after praising him.

There may not be space in the starting XI for Eddie Nketiah against his former club after a poor performance.

The former Arsenal man won only two of his ten duels this weekend and has looked poor in recent games.

He has not scored in three matches for Palace, and Glasner will think twice about starting him.

There might be a chance for Palace academy graduate Justin Devenny to strut his stuff.  Devenny converted the penalty Uche won.

He also struck the post even though he really should have scored to make it 3-2. He will likely feature against Arsenal, but it may be from the bench once more.
