JAKARTA Arsenal will start their efforts to end their 30-year English League title drought (Carabao Cup) when they arrive by visitors Brighton & Hove Albion to the Emirates, Thursday, November 10 in the morning.

Efforts to get past the third round at home to Seagulls should be easy for the Gunners if they see their consistency so far on the English Premier League stage. Moreover, they came after beating Chelsea in the 15th week of the Premier League, last Sunday.

The only record in that win was too few goal margins. However, after all that result was enough to get them back to the top of the table, two points ahead of Manchester City in second place.

This performance in the Premier League makes supporters of the Gunners increasingly believe they can defend their position. However, regardless of that, they will have to turn their attention to the Carabao Cup to keep the chance of winning more than one title at the end of the season.

The Premier League Cup competition has only been won twice by Arsenal in the long history of their club. The last title they even got 30 years ago in the 1992/1993 season after beating Sheffield Wednesday in the final.

The club from North London managed to reach the semi-finals last year. They impressively detained Liverpool from a goalless draw at Anfield in the first leg with 10 players, but had to lose 0-2 at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal entered the match against Brighton with three consecutive wins and three consecutive clean sheets in all tournaments. In addition, they also had 12 consecutive wins at the Emirates.

However, to be able to shake Brighton, the Gunners need to be vigilant too. The reason is, Roberto De Zerbi's team came with two sensational wins, beat Chelsea 4-1 and beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-2 in the latest match.

To that end, De Zerbi certainly wants to add to his slick record after bringing his team to sixth in the Premier League. A further League Cup journey will also be welcomed by Seagulls supporters as they have never previously stepped in so far.

Seagulls have been eliminated twice in the fourth round of Manchester United and Leicester City in the last two seasons. Meanwhile, this season they beat Forest Green Rovers 3-0 in the second half and will try to get through this round at the Emirates.
