Despite their consistent performances in the EPL over the last couple of seasons, this current Arsenal team is yet to win a trophy.
Mikel Arteta, who led a very different group of players to FA Cup glory in 2020, is desperate to change that, and a fourth-round tie with Preston in this season's Carabao Cup gives his team a fantastic chance of reaching the quarter-finals.
Preston will be aiming to record a major upset on Wednesday. They have not beaten Arsenal since 1960, but Deepdale will be rocking for the visit of the EPL giants. Arteta is likely to rotate his starting XI, potentially giving Preston a chance of giving Arsenal a game.
Overall, though, the Gunners' superior quality should make the difference. Preston will look to sit deep and spoil, but Arsenal are likely to get the job done.
Read on to find out how to watch the Preston vs Arsenal live stream wherever you are.
