Our Carabao Cup campaign will kick off against League One side Port Vale after the third-round draw took place this evening.
We will face the Valiants at Vale Park, with the tie scheduled for the week commencing September 22.
It will be the first time the teams have met since the 1997/98 when we drew 1-1 in an FA Cup third round replay at the Staffordshire side's home, but we advanced on penalties en route to winning the trophy as part of Arsene Wenger's first double.
We are looking to win the League Cup for the first time since 1993, and for just the third time in our history following on from our first success in 1987.
