For all their success in the FA Cup, where they hold the outright record for titles on 14, Arsenal have had relatively little joy in England's other domestic cup competition, the EFL Cup (currently sponsored by Carabao). They have only won it twice, their last victory coming more than 30 years ago in 1993.
Mikel Arteta has already won a major trophy as Arsenal manager – the FA Cup in 2020 – but his side have come on leaps and bounds since then and the fans will be hungry for this new sustained period of quality to translate into silverware.
Liverpool and Manchester United remain in the competition but the first hurdle will be to get past Crystal Palace, who have never won the EFL Cup. The South London side had a rough start to the season but are unbeaten since mid-November and come into this game having beaten Brighton 3-1 at the weekend.
Read on for our guide on how to watch an Arsenal vs Crystal Palace free live stream, and other broadcast details around the world.

Watch Arsenal vs Crystal Palace from anywhere
What if you're away from home for the game, and your usual streaming service is geo-restricted? Well, there is a neat solution. A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world.
Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you subscribe to, and it also comes with added internet security benefits.
FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.
