Arsenal’s Carabao Cup journey begins on Tuesday against Premier League opposition, as they face the newly-promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
The champions remain perfect through five games across all competitions, and they were certainly tested by Sunderland in their previous encounter. However, two magic moments at both ends of the pitch helped them prevail, with Bruno Guimarães‘ stunning opener arriving almost immediately after David Raya expertly denied Enzo Le Fée from the penalty spot.
The 100% Gunners sit atop the Premier League with Manchester City, whom they lost to in last season’s Carabao Cup final.
That defeat was meant to be the beginning of Arsenal’s late-season demise, but Mikel Arteta’s men held their nerve to claim a maiden Premier League title in 22 years. Now, they’re operating with the ruthless swagger of a champion.
Ipswich, though, have proven themselves to be competitive upon their return to the top flight, winning two of their four league outings. Zian Flemming’s late goal saw them earn a 3–2 victory over the 10-men of Crystal Palace at the weekend, and they beat League One Leicester City 3–1 to reach the third round of this competition.
