Arsenal announce date and kick-off time for Carabao Cup 4th round tie against Leeds United

Arsenal's Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Leeds United will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Furthermore, it has been announced via the club's official website that the game at the Emirates Stadium will take place on Tuesday, October 26 with a kick-off time of 7:45pm.

The Gunners overcame League One opposition in AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday night to set up this all-Premier League tie as Alexandre Lacazette Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah were all on target in a comfortable 3-0 win.

Meanwhile, United booked their place in round four with a penalty shootout win over Fulham 24 hours earlier.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta discovered his side's opponents in the next round as the same time as everybody else and said it's going to be a big match.

"Well I just found out," the Spaniard said in his post-match press conference. "We have experienced that one, we know how tough it’s going to be, so big match."

En route to winning the FA Cup in the 2019/2020 campaign, the Gunners did beat Leeds at home 1-0 thanks to a goal from Reiss Nelson, so could history repeat itself in another domestic cup competition?

Well, lifting the Carabao Cup is one way for Arsenal to seal a return to Europe next season after missing out completely this term.

And their chance to reach the next round of the competition will come after facing Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Carabao Cup fourth round draw in full:

Chelsea vs Southampton

Arsenal vs Leeds

Stoke vs Brentford

West Ham vs Man City

Leicester vs Brighton
