It is Carabao Cup quarter-final action this week, although not for Arsenal and their opponents Crystal Palace. The Gunners, who beat Port Vale in round three, overcame Brighton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in late October to set up an all-London showdown with the Eagles for a place in the last four.

The focus Wolves have had this season is the only thing wandering in Wolverhampton this season. Through 14 matches, the club has failed to score a win. Including a loss to Manchester United this past Monday, it has lost eight straight league matches and nine consecutive defeats in a row across all competitions. Time: 3 p.m. ET

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Viktor Gyökeres' critics to "leave him alone" -- despite admitting the £64 million ($86m) striker needs to start scoring.

Lucky Arsenal were let off the hook in dramatic style as they claimed a 2-1 win against Wolves thanks to two own goals from the Premier League's basement boys, with Yerson Mosquera heading what proved to be the winner past his own keeper Sam Johnstone deep into stoppage time at the Emirates.

Former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is set to join Dutch giants Ajax on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
