Fleetwood Town FC will now be gearing up to battle it out against Arsenal for their fourth-round fixture of the EFL Cup 2026-27 edition. These sides are all set to collide at the Highbury Stadium.
The English fourth-division side have underperformed in their last two matches and will be under pressure for their next one. They have suffered back-to-back losses in their last two games. Led by Matt Lawlor, Fleetwood Town will have to produce an extraordinary performance in order to progress further in the cup competition.
The Fishermen might be at home for their upcoming contest, but are going to be under pressure due to their recent performance.
The defending Premier League champions are now going to be in action for their Carabao Cup contest. Mikel Arteta will likely rest many of his top players against Fleetwood, without underestimating the opponents.
Arsenal have been performing well and will be looking to extend their rich vein of form now. Even though the Gunners will be away from home, they will be confident.
Players to watch
Ched Evans (Fleetwood)
The 37-year-old is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Fleetwood Town. He has scored three goals in three EFL Cup appearances this season and will be looking to add more to his tally. Ched Evans will be looking to help the hosts by positioning himself smartly in the opponent’s defence.
Max Dowman (Arsenal)
Max Dowman will have a crucial role to play in the final third for Arsenal. The youngster has a high ceiling and has also shown promising performances whenever Arteta has put faith in him during the games. He scored a sensational brace for the Gunners in their previous Carabao Cup outing and will be looking to come up with a similar performance. The 16-year-old can also be deployed as an attacking midfielder, which automatically makes him important.
