After a fairly generous run in the Carabao Cup fixtures list so far, Arsenal face the challenge of Leeds United for a shot at the quarter-finals.

Despite being the most dominant team in FA Cup history, the Gunners have only won the League Cup twice, all the way back in 1987 and 1993.

However they’re certainly on good form for another chance this year, not having lost a single game in their last seven matches across all competitions.

Mikel Arteta’s side has certainly been subject to criticism this season – especially after that 5-0 loss to Manchester City – but have made an impressive comeback, culminating in a comfortable win over Aston Villa on Friday.

Leeds, on the other hand, have hard a rough start to the 2021-22 season, struggling to win games within 90 minutes and only managing a draw in their most recent clash against Wolves. However, with reserve players expected to come out on both sides, it remains to be seen whether the Whites can overcome Arsenal for the first time since 2003.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Leeds

Both teams deploying line-ups made up of fringe players adds an element of the unknown to this match, with neither side at full strength.

However, Leeds have been struggling even with their core XI, winning just two of their last eight games – one of which was thanks to penalties. Arsenal, on the other hand, are on a long unbeaten streak and have a promising history against the Whites.

Even with a shake-up to the line-up, the Gunners should have enough talent to advance to the quarter-finals, though a goal from Marcelo Biesla’s reserve squad is not out of the question.

Our prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Leeds (15/2 at bet365).
