Premier League leaders Arsenal tonight host Brighton in the Carabao Cup third round.
While the Gunners appear to be firing on all cylinders, Brighton head into the tie also full of confidence after beating Chelsea and Wolves in recent weeks.
Last season saw Mikel Arteta’s side fall at the semi-final stage but you have to go back to 1979 for the last time Brighton progressed into the latter stages of this competition.
