Wednesday Night in the Carabao Cup sees Arsenal face Bolton Wanderers in a Third round clash. The Gunners come into this game after a busy week of Champions League and Premier League action against the League One Trotters. Mikel Arteta may well rest key players for this match so our prediction will have to consider this likelihood.
It’s been a tough week for Arsenal. In midweek, they travelled to Bergamo to face Europa League holders Atalanta and came away with a 0-0 draw. Next up, the Gunners faced Manchester City at the weekend and after a dramatic and controversial game, shared the spoils following a 2-2 draw against the Champions. A third draw in four games for Arsenal.
That result left Arsenal fourth in the EPL table ahead of their opening Carabao Cup game of the season.
Bolton reached the third round of the tournament thanks to a 5-4 penalties victory over Mansfield in the first round (following a 1-1 draw). They followed that with a 2-0 win away to Shrewsbury in the second round to earn this tie against the Gunners.
Unfortunately for manager Ian Evatt, Bolton’s league form hadn’t been particularly good as they had gone four games without a win prior to this weekend’s game with Reading. However, they returned to form at the ToughSheet Community Stadium wth a 5-2 win over the Royals last weekend.
That win was their second of the campaign and moved them up to 18th in the League One table.

Our Arsenal vs Bolton Prediction
Our prediction for the Arsenal vs. Bolton Carabao Cup Third round tie is: Arsenal to win to nil.
Even if Mikel Arteta rests players for this game, the Gunners will still have a team picked with top internationals. League One Bolton have struggled to score against opponents from their own division. Away to one of the top teams in the country, finding the net looks a challenging prospect. Arsenal should win this one very comfortably without Bolton troubling the Gunners goalkeeper.
