Arsenal take on the visitors Blackpool at the Emirates Stadium in the 1/8-finals fixture of the EFL Cup. The match will be played in London on Wednesday, October 31st.
The squad of Arsenal will most likely consist of their reserve players in their upcoming fixture against Blackpool. The manager of the team Unai Emery has already done major changes to his starting eleven this EFL Cup. In the 1/16-finals fixture of the tournament the Gunners struggled against the team from the lower division Brentford but won with a 3-1 score in the end. Furthermore, Arsenal are not that good in the defense at all even with their key players in the squad. They have allowed some goals from Crystal Palace (two goals), from Leicester City (one goal), from Fulham (one goal), from Newcastle United (one goal) all in the Premier League and from Vorskla Poltava in their UEFA Europa League group stage fixture (two goals) recently. In their last three matches overall Arsenal drew against Crystal Palace with a 2-2 score, beat Qarabag with a 1-0 score in their UEFA Europa League group stage fixture and Leicester City with a 3-1 score.

Blackpool are in the English Football League One at the moment. They have a status of a middle team there even though the goal for the Seasiders is to compete for the Championship promotion. It`s worth noting that the team of Terry McPhillips has been showing solid performances so far this EFL Cup putting all of their key players in the starting eleven for those games. Before getting to the 1/8-finals fixture of the tournament the Pool had managed to beat Barnsley with a 3-1 score, Doncaster with a 2-1 score and Queen`s Park Rangers with a 2-0 score. In their last three matches overall Blackpool lost to Fleetwood Town with a 2-3 score, beat Scunthorpe with a 1-0 score and Wimbledon with a 2-0 score. The Tangerines have also had an EFL Trophy fixture recently where they have lost to West Bromwich Albion U23 with a 1-2 score.
Blackpool have been quite productive recently. It is likely that they will manage to score at least once in their upcoming EFL Cup fixture against Arsenal.
Prediction for the match: Blackpool to score over 0.5 goals.
