Arsenal hosts Leeds United in the EFL Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 26th at Emirates Stadium (London)
Despite the rich club history, Arsenal won the League Cup only two times in their history. In addition, the team reached the final six times but was content with only silver medals. This is exactly what happened in the last draw. Being a team from the Premier League, the Gunners have gone through only two League Cup rounds. First, they destroyed West Bromwich away (0-6). Then there was another confident victory over Wimbledon (3-0). In the previous seven matches in this tournament, the Londoners lost only once in regulation time, gaining four victories and two draws. As for the performance at home, Arteta's charges have won seven times in the last eleven matches (one draw and three defeats).

Leeds has won this trophy only once in its history. It happened back in the mid-90s of the last century. In the current League Cup, Bielsa's men eliminated Crew Alexandra in the 1/32 finals (3-0). In the next round, the Whites played against Fulham, and the regulation time of that match ended without goals. The Peacocks gained victory in a penalty shootout (5-6). At the moment, Leeds continues its streak without victories in regulation time in the League Cup. It has already counted five matches. In the last eight away matches, only two defeats were recorded (two victories and four draws).
Both teams are not impressive in the current Premier League draw. Arsenal is only in 12th place in the standings, while Leeds is in 17th place. Obviously, such a tournament as the League Cup is now secondary for both clubs. Still, Arteta is known for his ability to motivate his charges for cup confrontations. I do not exclude that now the situation will be the same. Moreover, the Gunners show a good level of football on their native pitch. I bet on the hosts to win in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win
