Darren Moore\u2019s side edged past Blackpool and Birmingham 1-0 on the road, keeping alive memories of their 2023\/24 quarter-final run. After a winless seven-game league start, the Valiants have finally found form with back-to-back victories over Exeter and Mansfield \u2014 the latter sealed by Ronan Curtis\u2019s dramatic 95th-minute penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh from snatching a late draw against Man City, Arsenal turn to the EFL Cup on Wednesday against lower-league opposition. The trophy has eluded them since 1993, and last year\u2019s run ended with a heavy semi-final defeat to Newcastle. With eyes fixed firmly on the Premier League and Champions League, Arteta won\u2019t rank this competition highly \u2014 but a slip-up here would only fuel doubts over his ability to deliver silverware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-port-vale-team-news\">Port Vale team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Port Vale\u2019s injury list on the flanks is growing. Kyle John is sidelined for a few games with a muscle problem, Mitch Clark won\u2019t return for at least another week, and Liam Gordon limped off late in the Mansfield win. The one boost for Darren Moore is up front, where on-loan Wrexham striker Mo Faal is back in contention after shaking off a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s injury concerns mounted at the weekend, with Piero Hincapi\u00e9 absent and Noni Madueke forced off at half-time with a knee issue that now requires scans. He joins Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz and Martin \u00d8degaard on the treatment table. The positives? Bukayo Saka returned to action and Ben White was back on the bench, both likely to feature from the start on Wednesday. Expect changes too, with youngsters Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly in line for minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-head<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arsenal and Port Vale have not played each other in a league game in 121 years, since 1904, when the Gunners were named Woolwich Arsenal. The pair then met in the FA Cup in 1927, before having to wait until 1998 for their next meeting. The most recent clash saw Arsenal require a third-round replay before they went on to lift the trophy, beating Newcastle in the final. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-holds-the-edge\">Who holds the edge? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with numerous changes after the game with Manchester City at the weekend, expect Arsenal to field a strong, talented starting XI, which should be able to dispose of Port Vale with relative ease. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EFL Cup third round continues on Wednesday as Port Vale welcome Arsenal to Vale Park.
