Arsenal vs Crystal Palace: Carabao Cup preview
To the dismay of supporters, Glasner is now openly working on extending his Selhurst Park legacy. The manager who guided Palace to the FA Cup and into Europe has reportedly decide to leave at the end of his contract in May.
The Austrian boss won't be short of suitors and a second pot would strengthen his hand still further. Palace will start their FA Cup defence at Macclesfield, by which time they'll hope to be in the frame for an unlikely cup double.
Arsenal are strong favourites at home on Tuesday. They progressed as far as the last eight without fuss, winning 2-0 against Grimsby Town in the third round and Brighton & Hove Albion in the fourth round.
The Gunners have a surprisingly meagre history with the League Cup, winning it only twice and long before Arsene Wenger installed them as a dominant force and FA Cup specialists.

The Africa Cup of Nations will affect Glasner's selection for this enticing quarter-final tie. Ismaila Sarr is a significant loss to the Palace attack and will likely play for Senegal against Botswana earlier on the very same day.
Mikel Arteta has no such worry and can look forward to the match knowing that the Gunners have been beaten just four times by Palace since 1979.
Arsenal's last home defeat against the Eagles was in April 2019, when Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha and James McArthur scored the goals in a 3-2 win at the Emirates.
Arsenal have won seven of the last eight meetings including in this exact fixture in the quarter-final of the Carabao Cup last season. Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick that night. His timely return from long-term injury will not have gone unnoticed in Croydon.
