Arsenal approach this tie sitting proudly atop the Premier League table, their authority underpinned by seven consecutive victories across all competitions.

Arsenal will face Crystal Palace in a London derby in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, while Chelsea travel to Cardiff.

Brighton have added veteran midfielder James Milner to their list of absentees with a minor issue sustained during Saturday’s dramatic 4-2 loss at Manchester United in the Premier League.

If Arsenal are to beat them, they will need to maximize their open play chances. Burnley have given up league-leading 332 touches in the box to opposition as well as most shots (165) and SOTs (51) given up while having only given up one set piece goal all season. Arsenal lead the pack in touches in the box (320) and are 3rd in shots (133)

All eyes this weekend will of course be on Liverpool as their poor form continues, following a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the League Cup.

Slot is expected to recall key figures such as Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai.
