Arsenal are aiming to win their seventh game in succession on Wednesday night, having failed to concede a goal in their previous five outings.
The Gunners’ stubborn defence and remarkable set-piece proficiency mean they currently boast a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League, and Mikel Arteta will view the Carabao Cup as a competition his team can win to further boost their chances of claiming more lucrative honours at the end of 2025–26.
