Arsenal will be a heavily favored prediction when they travel to Preston for an EFL Cup tie in the round of 16 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Gunners will be aiming to go all the way in the competition this term, as they have won just one major honor under Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preston may have the added advantage of playing at home this week, but they will be easy to overlook based on their struggles in the Championship so far this term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosts come into this match after failing to win in their last two, and losing four times in their opening 12 matches in the second tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As expected, Arsenal will be the clear favorites on the moneyline this week. A shock home win for Preston is priced up at +1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arsenal make the trip to Preston for the first time since landing a 2-1 success in the FA Cup in January 2017. In fact, the Gunners have won their last three matches against their opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The only EFL Cup match between the sides in the last 50 years ended in a 2-1 win for the Gunners in October 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udea8\u26bd TIP:<\/strong> Under 3.25 Goals @ -123<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robert Brady misses out this week due to an unknown injury. Ched Evans is also set to miss out on selection against the Gunners, while Will Keane and Patrick Bauer aren\u2019t expected to return to first-team action until late November.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMatch Result<\/th> Odds<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> Preston<\/td> +1000<\/td><\/tr> Draw<\/td> +520<\/td><\/tr> Arsenal<\/td> -476<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n First Meeting Since 2017<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
