Raheem Sterling has sparked speculation about his potential involvement in Arsenal's starting XI for their Carabao Cup quarter-final against Crystal Palace. The forward shared a matchday image on his Instagram, hinting that he could feature in tonight's game.
Sterling, who joined Arsenal on loan from Chelsea earlier this season, has had limited opportunities to make an impact. So far, he has made six Premier League appearances, mostly as a substitute, and played in two Carabao Cup matches, scoring once.
Manager Mikel Arteta has acknowledged the challenge of giving Sterling more game time, explaining that squad rotation and managing player fitness have been priorities. However, Arteta has hinted at increased opportunities for Sterling as Arsenal navigate a busy December schedule.
Tonight’s clash holds significance for Arsenal, as Arteta views the League Cup as a competition that can strengthen the team's confidence as they aim for Premier League success. Arsenal, currently third in the league table, are striving to end their title drought, which dates back to 2004.
After the midweek cup fixture, Arsenal will face Crystal Palace again on Saturday, December 21, in a Premier League encounter at Selhurst Park.
