**Gary O’Neil** talked about **Ipswich Town** taking on **Arsenal** in the **Carabao Cup**.
The **Premier League** champions have a 100% winning record, beating **Sunderland**, **Napoli** and **Chelsea** in a week after victories over **Aston Villa**, **Coventry City** and **Manchester City**.
They will be a tough test for the _Tractor Boys_, who want to put forward a better account of themselves than they have done in their two fixtures against ‘Big Six’ opposition in the first month of the season.
·**‘We missed the opportunity against Liverpool’**
Ipswich earned a 1-0 lead at **Old Trafford** against **Manchester United**, but they were blown apart in the second half as a **Bruno Fernandes** hat-trick helped the _Red Devils_ defeat their guests 5-2. The next week, **Alexander Isak** scored twice in the first nine minutes of the match for **Liverpool** as the _Reds_ raced clear and held off the increasing momentum from the hosts during the rest of the game.
At the third attempt, against the best team in the country, can Ipswich write a different story?
_“_**_Arsenal_** _are tough to beat, even if you do everything right. I'll make some changes to my team, I'm sure Mikel will make changes to his team, but it's a game we want to win. I want to get as far in the cups as we can._
_“We’re going to give it our best go at home under the lights. I think we missed the opportunity against_ **_Liverpool_**_. We played well, but it was already 2-0. We missed the opportunity to use the energy of_ **_Portman Road_** _under the lights against a big side. So, on Tuesday, we can correct that. We can start the game well. We can take the fans with us on an attempt to beat one of the best sides around._
_“We’ll prepare for a top side to come. We know whether it's_ **_Bukayo Saka_** _or_ **_Noni Madueke_**_, for instance, they're going to be good on the right wing. It’s the same with the centre-backs, whichever ones he goes with, they're going to be good. Midfield, the same._
_“They have a consistent structure, at least. One of the positives of playing of_ **_Arsenal_**_, they're very, very consistent in what they do. Prepping the game from a tactical point of view will be fairly straightforward. Stopping them and stopping what they do will not be straightforward._
_“There will be some work that goes into that, but we'll also have a strong side. We've worked our socks off in the transfer window to give ourselves a strong squad. Of course, we’re a different level to_ **_Arsenal_** _at this moment, but we'll be strong on Tuesday, and we'll do our best to win the game.”_
