Arteta: 'We certainly have to try to win four trophies'

Arsenal return to action tonight as they travel to Preston North End for a round of 16 tie in the Carabao Cup.

The Gunners head into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League and Mikel Arteta is expected to make significant changes against the Championship side.

The likes of Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz should be rested while William Saliba may feature having sat out the previous match through suspension. Arsenal are hoping to reach the quarter-finals and Arteta will expect a similar performance to their 5-1 hammering over Bolton in the previous round.

Preston, meanwhile, will bring their A-game as they look to challenge the Premier League side. Though sat at the wrong end of the second division, Paul Heckingbottom’s side are unbeaten in their last five matches and have a proven goalscorer up top on Sam Greenwood which could pose a threat to the Gunners.
