H2H
This will be the first-ever meeting between Fleetwood and Arsenal.
Fleetwood Lose a Lot
League Two Fleetwood beat Sheffield United 1-0 in the EFL Cup third round. The Cods have lost six of their nine matches since that cup triumph.
Fleetwood lost four games in a row against Barnet 3-1, Oldham 1-0, Rochdale 2-1 and Salford 1-0. They had -1 XG in two of those defeats.
Matt Lawlor’s side showed some improvements with a three-match unbeaten run in early October. The Lancashire team couldn’t maintain momentum and lost 4-2 at Cheltenham, allowing 1.87 XG.
The Trawlermen lost again on Saturday following a 2-1 away defeat at Exeter. Fleetwood had 0.89 XG and Ronan Coughlan’s second half goal wasn’t enough to prevent the defeat.
Arsenal Are a Top Defensive Team
Arsenal have started the new season in excellent form, winning 11 of their opening 13 matches across all competitions. Mikel Arteta’s side have conceded just six goals and kept eight clean sheets in 2026/27.
The Gunners’ only defeat was a 3-0 loss at Brighton. Arsenal replied with wins over Leeds 2-1, Lille 3-0 and Nottingham Forest 1-0 before drawing 2-2 at Bayern Munich.
The Premier League outfit then cruised to a 2-0 home win against Everton. Ezri Konsa and Gabriel scored in each half and Arsenal dominated with 1.96-0.63 XG and 20 shots.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Fleetwood (4-2-3-1): Jay Lynch; Shaun Rooney, Rhys Bennett, Finley Potter; Harrison Neal; Lewis McCann, Adam Murphy, Mark Helm, Jake Batty; Ched Evans, Ronan Coughlan
Midfielder Kane Thompson-Sommers has been unavailable since August due to injury. Andy Cannon is also sidelined with an ACL injury.
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Jurrien Timber, Cristhian Mosquera, Marli Salmon, Piero Hincapie; Martin Zubimendi, Bruno Guimaraes; Noni Madueke, Mikel Merino, Max Dowman; Viktor Gyokeres
Attacker Bukayo Saka is ruled out with a quadriceps injury and defender William Saliba is unavailable due to a back problem.
Defender Riccardo Califiori and forward Christos Tzolis are injury doubts. Mikel Arteta issued a post-match update on Califiori’s condition and said:
“It was because he had a slight issue, we don't know what it is, it seems to be something very small, but he was cautious about it.”
Verdict
Fleetwood are unlikely to trouble in-form Arsenal in this EFL Cup encounter. The Gunners are rock solid at the back and can win comfortably against the Cods.
