Arsenal host AFC Wimbledon in a compelling Carabao Cup match at the Emirates tonight, the first time the two teams have met since the visitors’ rebirth in 2002.
Only 38 places separate teams in the English football pyramid, which may seem like a lot at first glance, but considering that AFC Wimbledon had just finished fourth in the Isthmian League First Division when Emirates opened for first time in 2006, it’s a remarkable transformation.
The Gunners have endured a rough ride in the opening weeks of the Premier League season. A 1-0 win over Burnley at the weekend offered a crucial point to take them to 13th place, but those points appear to be covering deep-seated cracks at the moment.
Mikel Arteta knows that games like this are simply essential victories if he wants to maintain the trust of even a few Arsenal fans.
AFC Wimbledon have started their League One campaign in excellent shape, ranking seventh after eight games. Boss Mark Robinson has started to propel the club up since his arrival in January after several seasons of treading water in the third division.
