Arsenal to Sail into Fourth Round

Port Vale have finally found form, sealing back-to-back wins in EFL League One. Darren Moore’s men won 2-0 at Exeter City before battling to a 2-1 home victory over Mansfield Town.

Vale have also picked up two impressive away wins in the EFL Cup. In round one, Mo Faal’s goal 15 minutes from time gave the Valiants a 1-0 victory at Blackpool. Vale then stunned Birmingham City at St Andrew’s, nicking a 1-0 win thanks to Jaheim Headley’s effort.

Arsenal have made a solid start to their season, winning four of their opening six fixtures. After netting late to draw 1-1 with Manchester City last weekend, the London side maintained second place in the Premier League table.

Arsenal are unbeaten in three league and cup games and have lost just once in all competitions this season. They may have bigger fish to fry, but Arteta will want to see his side progress in the EFL Cup in midweek.
