Can Port Vale Shock the Gunners?
Port Vale have enjoyed a positive start to their League One campaign, earning victories over Blackpool and Birmingham to reach this stage. Darren Moore’s side also defeated Mansfield 2-1 at the weekend, and with Devante Cole in scoring form, they will look to make life difficult at Vale Park.
Arsenal Set to Rotate but Stay Strong
Arsenal were held 1-1 by Manchester City on Sunday, but Arteta is expected to rotate his squad for this tie. Even with changes, the Gunners’ depth is formidable, with Martinelli, Saka, and Rice all likely to feature. Arsenal haven’t lifted this trophy since 1993, and they’ll be eager to avoid any slip-ups.

The bookies see little doubt: Arsenal are priced at 1.10 to win, while Port Vale are as big as 20.00 to pull off a shock. The draw is 9.40.
