Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Ipswich Town and Arsenal meet in the third round of the EFL Cup, with both clubs arriving after important Premier League victories. Ipswich booked its place in this round by beating Leicester City 3-1 in the second round, while Arsenal received a bye into the third round because of its European commitments.

The matchup comes at an interesting point in both teams’ seasons. Ipswich enter the cup tie after a dramatic 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace, with Zian Flemming scoring the stoppage-time winner. Arsenal, meanwhile, maintained its perfect start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, leaving Mikel Arteta‘s team with four wins from four league matches.

For Arsenal, the EFL Cup represents another opportunity to end a long wait for the trophy. The Gunners have not won the competition since 1993, when they defeated Sheffield Wednesday in the final. Arsenal were also runners-up last season, losing the final to Manchester City, so Arteta’s side will be looking to avoid another early setback as it begins another attempt to reach Wembley.

Ipswich have their own incentive. The Tractor Boys have never reached the EFL Cup final, although they have made the semifinals four times. Their most recent semifinal appearance came in 2011, when Arsenal eliminated them after Ipswich won the first leg 1-0 before suffering a 3-0 defeat in the return match.
