Arsenal vs Bolton preview

A place in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup is up for grabs when Arsenal host Bolton on Wednesday.

The Gunners come here off the back of that heartbreaking last-minute John Stones goal, which saw them lose two points at the death.

For the second successive Premier League weekend, the Gunners sat in a deep block and looked to counter or capitalise on set-pieces, offering not much in terms of attacking quality.

The same could also be said of their Champions League goalless draw at Atalanta and they’re now one win from their last four.

But the second half they weren’t able to do much more after Leandro Trossard’s stupid red card in the dying moments of the first half.

This cup clash is a chance for some of the fringe players to stake their claim moving forward.

Bolton’s form reads LWLWLW, with the term ‘inconsistent’ never been truer said.

A 4-0 thumping at home to Huddersfield was followed up with a 5-2 win over Reading last time out. Which Bolton will turn up here?

Arsenal vs Bolton prediction and betting tips

Sterling banker

Raheem Sterling has had to be patient for his chance at Arsenal since his move late in the summer window.

But this looks an ideal chance for him to get game time and give Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli a break after a tough couple of weeks.

Scored in Chelsea’s defeat to Man City in pre-season and had limited minutes since. Would need to make impression here though.

Hit for four

When a game’s expected to be as one-sided as this, finding value can be hard to come by.

Especially ahead of time when you don’t have the team news.

But what we do have is an understanding that this will be tough for a Bolton side who have conceded eight times in their last three games. For all the difficulty Arsenal have scoring many goals from open play, they should rack up a few here.
