An own-goal from Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi's late strike forced penalties at the Emirates as the Gunners set up a tie with Chelsea

Arsenal take on Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarter-final, aiming to progress to the penultimate stage, where they would face Chelsea, for the third time in five seasons. The Gunners beat the Eagles at the same stage last season.

Arsenal secured the win they needed at Everton to return to the top of the Premier League in a scrappy encounter at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Manchester City overhauled the Gunners with a comfortable victory against West Ham United before this match, putting the pressure on manager Mikel Arteta's side on the return to his former club.

Arsenal raced down the other end with a free-flowing counter-attack only for Martinez to tip Jesus' shot over. Riccardo Calafiori's header from Saka's ensuing corner was blocked, and so was Jurrien Timber's effort, but a toe-poke from Lacroix ended up in the Palace net.

Gyokeres improved after the break, flashing a header wide and putting another effort just past the post. It was, however, in stark contrast to the impact Gabriel Jesus made off the bench. The Brazilian returned this week from nearly a year out with a knee injury.

Arsenal were not particularly convincing against Everton during their win over the weekend, but a former Liverpool player has come to their defense.
