Mikel Arteta believes that Gabriel Jesus is ready to make an impact if necessary when we take on Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Tuesday.
Our Brazilian forward came off the bench to help us to a 2-1 victory against Wolves before making a similar impression during last weekend's 1-0 win over Everton, a result that saw us go top of the Premier League tree at Christmas.
It’s a quick turnaround to Crystal Palace in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, but Mikel feels that Jesus, who scored a hat-trick in the same round against the same opponents 12 months ago, is ready to start if called upon.
