Kick-off: 7:45pm UK Time, Wednesday 30th October 2024

Preston North End’s reward for winning an incredible penalty-shoot-out 16-15 against Premier League side Fulham in the third round of the Carabao Cup is a last-sixteen meeting with high-flying Arsenal at Deepdale on Wednesday evening. 

Pick of the fixtures 

Plymouth Argyle v Preston North End at Home Park was undoubtedly the pick of the Championship fixtures at the weekend, the visitors soaring into what seemed to be an unassailable three goal lead before the hosts came storming back with three second-half goals of their own, the equaliser coming in the second minute of stoppage time. While this was clearly a huge disappointment for North End, it extended their unbeaten run to five goals although they have only secured victory twice during that time.

Massive collapse

While the post mortem into that massive collapse will obviously continue   for some time, the Preston supporters can at the very least reflect on another astonishing scoreline, a record breaking 16-15 penalty shoot-out win over Premier League side Fulham in the third round of the Carabao Cup. With 31 spot kicks between them, these two sides broke records for battling out the longest ever shootout in the history of the League Cup and Preston’s success was enough to send them through to the last sixteen of the competition.

Defensive approach

Arsenal were involved in a four-goal thriller with Liverpool on Sunday but while the two sides shared the spoils, it was more a case of two points dropped for the Gunners who enjoyed dominance for lengthy periods. Nevertheless, the North London side are through to the last sixteen of the Carabao Cup on account of their 5-1 demolition of Bolton Wanderers in the third round and the likelihood is that they will face a Preston side adopting an all-out defensive approach, the aim being to stifle Mikel Arteta’s side which will feature several second-string players.

Young Guns

Arsenal’s young guns should have few problems breaching Preston’s rearguard on Wednesday evening and we expect the Gunners to make their way through to the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup without too much effort.

Back Arsenal to win to nil at best odds of 11/10
