The match

Premier League giants Arsenal welcome lower-league opposition to the Emirates on Wednesday night when AFC Wimbledon show up for a third-round League Cup tie. One of the youngest clubs left in the competition, Wimbledon, presently plying their trade in League One, were founded in 2002. They have never won this competition and were knocked out in the first round last season. A victory against Arsenal would rank as the biggest in their short history. The Gunners are recovering from a disastrous start to the league campaign that saw them lose their opening three matches. They won their subsequent two and exhibited their strength in their huge second-round win over West Brom. The two-time League Cup winners swept aside the Baggies in a 6-0 win, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netting a hat-trick. Wimbledon have been in this competition since the first round and won both of their previous ties 1-0 away. The trip to the Emirates will be tougher than past assignments. 

Wimbledon are coming off the back of a defeat at the weekend, but made an otherwise solid start to the league campaign, going unbeaten in six of their eight matches thus far. Arsenal's last two league wins signify the focus of Mikel Arteta. They were both 1-0 against lower-table opposition and appeared to emphasise organisation and composure, which Arsenal lacked in previous outings. With their confidence somewhat restored, and the opportunity to hammer lower-league opponents rarely passed up, we foresee a big home win. Back Arsenal with a minus-two handicap. 

Key Statistics

  • Arsenal won three of their last four matches in all competitions.
  • Arsenal kept three clean sheets in their last four games in all competitions.
  • Wimbledon won four of their last six away games in all competitions.

The bet of our experts

With life in the Premier League harder than in the days of yore, Arsenal relish expressing themselves in the League Cup. Back Arsenal minus two.
