Arsenal take on Crystal Palace in this all-London EFL Cup quarterfinal clash at the Emirates Stadium — the first of two meetings between the two local rivals this week.
With a Premier League fixture between the two sides at Selhurst Park upcoming at the weekend, both sides will be keen to land a first blow here, while also taking a step closer to reaching next year’s final at Wembley.
The Gunners come into this game looking to return to winning ways having been held to a disappointing draw at home to Everton in the league on Saturday.
They face an improving Palace side that managed to claim an impressive 3-1 win away at rivals Brighton on Sunday afternoon.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace EFL Cup match online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch this match — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
