Team News

Preston
Arsenal
  • Josh Bowler will be assessed, but Preston have no fewer than five confirmed absentees here.
  • Among those is the suspended Milutin Osmajic.
  • Jurrien Timber and Gabriel Magalhaes both came off in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool, though the former was due to cramp.
  • Neto is ineligible, while Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kieran Tierney and Riccardo Calafiori are injured.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • While Preston are unbeaten in five heading into Wednesday's welcome of Arsenal, they threw away a three-goal lead at Plymouth on Saturday to share the spoils with the Pilgrims.
  • Arsenal were twice pegged back by Liverpool on Sunday afternoon as they played out a 2-2 draw with the Reds.
  • Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is likely to tinker with his XI but Arsenal's strength in depth should see them prevail in midweek.

    What I like about Arteta is that he never put the second string team entirely. I expect some big boys to start. 2-3 my score.

    It's crazy for Arteta to risk Saliba, and Rice. But he hates rotation so he might just do that. This should be a team totally made up of B team players and kids.

    @Overmars If he sends the B Team, then Preston will dump them out of this competition. He must mix the youth and experience, not just kids only. It is important that he takes cup competitions seriously now considering that the league is becoming tougher and tougher
