Jesus ready to start vs Palace
Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta has stated that Gabriel Jesus is set to begin during the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.
The Gunners currently sit at the top of the Premier League, accumulating 39 points from 17 matches. They possess a narrow two-point advantage over second-placed Manchester City in the table. The team is now preparing for the League Cup quarter-final scheduled for tomorrow, and prior to the matchup against Palace, Arteta has indicated that Jesus might be included in the starting lineup. The Brazilian forward has made three appearances off the bench since returning from his long-term injury and may finally receive the starting role against Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Jesus encountered Palace at the same round of this competition last year, where he delivered a fantastic performance at the Emirates Stadium, netting a hat-trick in a 3-2 victory. The 28-year-old also scored another two goals against Palace in a 5-1 Premier League triumph. He will look to add to his tally against the south London club tomorrow.
