Ipswich v Arsenal Live Stream Details
Ipswich v Arsenal is on Sky Sports+, with coverage from the 20.00 BST kick off. Sky Sports+ is an extra stream carried inside Sky Sports rather than a channel of its own, which is how Sky shows several Carabao Cup third round ties at the same time. Kick off at Portman Road is 20.00 BST on Tuesday 15 September 2026.
Arsenal have won all six games they have played this season, the latest a 2-0 job at Sunderland on Saturday in which Bruno Guimaraes and Bukayo Saka scored after the break and David Raya saved an Enzo Le Fee penalty. That made it five clean sheets in six, and a win tonight would give them seven from seven to open a campaign, Community Shield included, for the first time since 2004-05.
None of which has ever counted for much in this competition. Arsenal last lifted the League Cup in 1993, have lost four finals since, and went down to Manchester City in the most recent one. They did at least get a bye to this stage, and only one of their last 11 runs has ended as early as the third round.
Right-back is the headache. Ben White is a serious doubt after picking up a groin problem on Saturday, Cristhian Mosquera is out with a muscle injury and William Saliba will not be back for a couple of months, which leaves Jurrien Timber starting rather sooner than anyone intended after his own long spell out. Arsenal’s last outing was a 1-0 win at Napoli.
Ipswich, by beating Leicester City 3-1 in the last round, have already gone further than they managed in nine of the previous 10 seasons.
The league has been rougher. Heavy defeats to Manchester United and Liverpool were followed on Saturday by a 3-2 win over Crystal Palace, Zian Flemming finishing it in the 90th minute once Axel Disasi had been sent off. Flemming is a curiosity tonight, having played the first two rounds for Burnley and still being eligible after the EFL relaxed its cup-tied rule last season.
Emersonn went off with quad tightness against Palace, though Gary O’Neil suggested he would have been rested for this regardless. Jack Taylor has a few weeks left on a knee injury and Azor Matusiwa might scrape into the squad after a thigh problem.
Ipswich have never reached a final here, falling in the semi-finals four times. Arsenal knocked them out of the most recent one, in 2010-11, after losing the first leg at Portman Road.
