Crystal Palace’s EFL Cup run continues on Wednesday with a London Derby trip to rivals Arsenal.
Chris Richards, Matt Turner and the Eagles will take on the Gunners for the first time in a four-day span across two competitions. Richards, who hasn’t started a match for Palace since September 21, will be seeking to jump back into the starting lineup. The U.S. men’s national team defender has only played nine minutes this month, but could see time if OIiver Glasner rotates his squad.
Turner hasn’t featured since a 2-1 win over Aston Villa back on October 30, but may remain on the bench with Dean Henderson continuing to hold the No. 1 job.
