If you are an Arsenal fan and want to know their winning chances this season in the EFL, this article is for you. We dived deep into the topic and looked at it from various angles.

Overview of Arsenal’s Forms and Recent Matches

Defeating Preston North End in the round of 16 led Arsenal to be the highest on the EFL Cup betting market at that point. In fact, so many predicted Arsenal’s victory against Preston that the battle was heralded as a ‘David vs Goliath’ clash.

Arsenal’s Performance in the Premier League

Arsenal has been showing exceptional performance in the Premier League as well. The team tied against Liverpool and Manchester City (both 2-2). However, even those tied battles also told a lot about Arsenal.

In both matches, Arsenal’s ability to break through the opponent’s defenses was impressive. Moreover, their own defense was also strong, considering both their opponents had to score a goal late in the game to secure a draw.

A. Isak from Newcastle did secure an early goal against Arsenal, leading to the latter’s defeat in their previous match in the tournament (as of the time of writing). Next, they will face off against Chelsea on November 11 and Nottingham on November 23.

The team currently 5th in the standings (1st tier), which is commendable. We should point out that six of the teams (except Liverpool) in the last eight of the EFL CUP are below Arsenal in the Premier League standings.

Arsenal’s Decent Going in the UEFA Champions League

The team’s UEFA Champions League is going pretty well. They tied against Atalanta, had a 2-0 win against PSG, and a 1-0 win against Shakhtar. Their next opponents in this league will be Inter tomorrow and Sporting Lisbon in late November.

If they win their fourth game in the UEFA Champions League, they will shoot up in the standings and may even reach the top 5. However, Arsenal may need to score a good number of goals against Inter for this.

Arsenal’s Stats and Forms in the EFL Cup

Arsenal’s match against Bolton in the EFL post-season was postponed. Later, they defeated Bolton in the rematch with a 5-1 goal. D. Rice scored an early goal at 16,’ and then Arsenal won two more goals by Ethan Nwaneri.

Bolton tried to come back at 53’ with Aaron Collins’ goal. However, they didn’t catch up, and Arsenal got two more goals from Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.

The team’s match against Preston brought them another success. Arsenal got a 0-3 victory.

Brief Overview of the Teams Standing in the EFL Cup Quarterfinal Stage

As Sun Tzu said, know your enemies first to strategize and secure victory. Since we will discuss Arsenal’s possibility of winning the EFL Cup, let’s look at all their potential opponents in the semifinal and final.

Tottenham

Tottenham achieved a great feat by defeating Manchester City in the post-season (2-1). Both their goals were scored very early in the game.

Before that, the team won against Coventry (1-2). Their ability to score in dire situations and break through enemy defense will be excellent against Man Utd in their next match. The team stands at 7th in the Premier League 2024-25.

Manchester United

Waiting to take on Tottenham is Man United, who have shown incredible offensive ability during this season of the EFL Cup. Their match against Barnsley was a crushing victory with a 7-0 goal.

The team’s other match was against Leicester on Oct 31. The former overwhelmed the latter with a 5-2 victory. All except one goal was scored in the first half of the match.

While Man Utd stands lower than Tottenham in the Premier League (13th), the former’s performance in the EFL league almost surpassed the latter.

Newcastle

If Newcastle wins against Brentford and faces off against Arsenal in later rounds, the latter will have a mighty challenge. Newcastle’s match against Nottingham went to overtime and penalty shootouts. Newcastle found the back of the net four times during the penalty, while Nottingham managed 3.

Newcastle’s match against Wimbledon was postponed twice before it happened on Oct 2 with the former’s 2-0 win.

Their victory against Chelsea wasn’t any luck. Yes, Axel Disasi scored an own goal. However, Newcastle would still win without that, thanks to A. Isak’s goal earlier in the game.

Brentford

Brentford stands right below their next opponent in the EFL Cup, Newcastle in the Premier League. Even if we look from other angles, their next game may come to a close call and lead to overtime (or even penalty shootouts).

Their matches against Colchester and Leyton Orient ended in their favor. Defender Jack Simpson from Leyton received a red card at 69’ during their game.

While Brentford scored one goal against Sheffield Wed at 11’, the latter tied the score at 57’ with one goal by D. Gassama. Their penalty shootouts ended with Brentford coming out triumphant.

Southampton

All the matches of Southampton have been pretty eventful so far. You usually see the pattern of the team scoring a lot of goals during their match but also receiving some.

For example, they faced off against Cardiff early in the EFL Cup, and the outcome was a 3-5 win. Two of Southampton's goals were at the extra time after the 90’ (90’+1’ and 90’+4’).

While their match against Everton remained with a 1-1 tie for the whole game, their penalty shootout was breathtaking. Everton scored 5 goals, while Southampton scored 6.

Their last match in the EFL Cup was against Stoke in the round of 16, with the score (3-2) favoring them.

Liverpool

As you know, Liverpool is currently the defending champion of the EFL Cup. They are #1 in both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. It goes without saying that Southampton will face off against a great storm soon - one that is hard to win against.

Liverpool’s match against West Ham and Brighton ended with 5-1 and 2-3 scores. They obviously want to win another EFL Cup this season and are inching in on it.

Crystal Palace

Arsenal’s next opponent, Crystal Palace, may not appear too much of an issue. Palace is having trouble with Premier League performance right now, with only one win among seven matches. In contrast, Arsenal’s record there is 5-2-3 with ten games played.

If Crystal Palace wants a win, they must play their cards right and exercise a proper strategy personalized to Arsenal.

Our Prediction about Arsenal’s Future Matches in the EFL Cup 2024/25 Season

We believe that Arsenal will win their next match against Crystal Palace in the quarterfinal and move on to the semifinal.

Unless they face Liverpool in the semifinal, they have a high chance of winning there too. We predict Newcastle and Tottenham to move on to the semis. Newcastle has a higher chance of proving themselves as a challenge against Arsenal than Tottenham.

We expect Liverpool and Arsenal to advance to the final. Honestly, predicting a victory for Arsenal will be highly optimistic. However, the team will have to strategize and be ready properly if they want to have a chance against Liverpool.
