Recommended bet: Arsenal to win and both teams to score
Arsenal welcome Brighton to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup with the aim of earning an eighth straight victory in all competitions.
The Gunners are competing on four fronts this campaign and while the League Cup is not the biggest of priorities, a victory is imperative for momentum. Brighton, meanwhile, are aiming to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1979.

Team news
As is often the case in the League Cup, Mikel Arteta is expected to make a number of changes as Arsenal compete on four fronts.
William Saliba, Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori all picked up knocks in Sunday's win over Crystal Palace and will be afforded a break to recover. Martin Odegaard remains out with a knee injury.
Karou Mitoma missed Brighton’s trip to Old Trafford with an ankle injury but is close to a return and could play some part. That is also the case for Joel Veltman, who had a calf issue and Brajan Gruda, who is recovering from a knee injury.
Seagulls forward Diego Gomez could start after scoring four goals in the last round against Barnsley.

Prediction
Arsenal could make wholesale changes to the team with Arteta enjoying huge strength in depth across his squad.
The Gunners boss will be well aware of the importance of keeping their winning run going but confident that his second string, together with home advantage, have what it takes to beat Brighton and make it through to the next round.
Ethan Nwaneri will likely feature while defender Piero Hincapie could start after coming on against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Seagulls manager Fabian Hurzeler may decide to only make a couple of switches to his starting XI based on the superior opposition Brighton are facing compared to past matches in this competition against Barnsley and Oxford.
Arsenal are favourites and should progress but expect plenty of action at both ends of the pitch.
Brighton are likely to find the net with both teams having scored in all but one of their league matches this season.
On Saturday, Hurzeler’s side netted twice in the defeat at Old Trafford and there are goals in the team no matter who they come up against.
