Mikel Arteta believes that Arsenal have reached “another level” this season thanks to improved depth and maturity within the squad as the Gunners target a first Premier League title in 22 years. But it will take even more to realise that ambition.

Arsenal will play Crystal Palace in the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup but their match will not be played this week.

The hope heading into the season was that Viktor Gyokeres ' arrival would be the final piece of the Arsenal jigsaw, the man to bring the selfish firepower in attack that had been missing. Competing with Kai Havertz, and with Gabriel Jesus to return, the emergency option of Mikel Merino as striker would surely not be needed.

This was the week that the quarterfinals were scheduled to be played— Arsenal were supposed to be facing Palace on Tuesday. Instead, the tie was pushed back to next week instead. Two days before Christmas, the sides from either side of the River Thames will do battle at the Emirates Stadium.
