- 阿森纳在所有比赛的最后八场比赛中有六场失球
- 阿森纳在过去的19场比赛中只输了一场
- 两队在普雷斯顿最近九场EFL杯比赛中都取得了六分
枪手获胜’;不要轻视普雷斯顿
普雷斯顿在EFL杯第四轮的比赛中击败了英冠领头羊桑德兰和英超球队富勒姆,但阿森纳可能对兰开斯特来说是一座太远的桥梁。
联赛杯可能不是米克尔·阿尔特塔的首要任务,尤其是周日对阵纽卡斯尔的比赛,但他在上一轮比赛中派出了一支强大的球队,他们以5比1击败了博尔顿。
Declan Rice,Bukayo Saka,Gabriel Jesus和Raheem Sterling是Arteta的首发球员之一,所以普雷斯顿可能想为一些阿森纳球员的严峻考验做准备,并需要证明一点。
也就是说,最近几周阿森纳的零封已经枯竭,普雷斯顿可能会在不太可能是全力防守的情况下留下自己的印记。
主持人可能会让人感觉到存在感
枪手已经连续五场联赛失球,其中包括两次对阵莱斯特城和伯恩茅斯,以及对阵南安普顿,而博尔顿在上一轮对阵酋长国的比赛中获得了安慰。
普雷斯顿在过去的九场比赛中只输了一场,尽管他们可能仍然因为在周六对阵普利茅斯的比赛中丢掉了三球的领先优势而感到沮丧。
因此,阿森纳可以晋级四分之一决赛,考虑到两队在普雷斯顿最近十场比赛中都有六场进球,正确的得分者可能会选择客场3-1获胜。
- Arsenal have conceded in six of their last eight matches in all competitions
- Arsenal have lost only one of their last 19 competitive matches
- Both teams have scored in six of Preston’s last nine EFL Cup ties
Gunners won’t take Preston lightly
Preston’s run to the fourth round of the EFL Cup has seen them dump out Championship leaders Sunderland and Premier League outfit Fulham, but Arsenal are likely to prove a bridge too far for the Lancastrians.
The League Cup may not be at the top of Mikel Arteta’s priority list, especially with a trip to Newcastle on Sunday, but he fielded a strong side in the previous round as they swatted aside Bolton 5-1.
Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling were among Arteta’s starters, so Preston may want to prepare for a stern test from some Arsenal players with a point to prove.
That said, the clean sheets have dried up for Arsenal in recent weeks and, in what is unlikely to be a full-strength defence, Preston may make their mark.
Hosts may make presence felt
The Gunners have conceded in five straight league games, which includes twice to Leicester and Bournemouth and against Southampton, while Bolton were able to grab a consolation in defeat at the Emirates in the previous round.
Preston have suffered only one defeat in their last nine, although they may still be reeling from throwing away a three-goal lead to draw at Plymouth on Saturday.
So Arsenal can advance into the quarter-final and correct-score punters may want to opt for a 3-1 away victory, given both teams have scored in six of Preston’s last ten outings.
