With the mood around Plough Lane at a red-hot high, the Wombles have rightfully received a string of plaudits. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they secured a 2-0 victory away at Blackpool, the former Charlton boss has seen his squad skyrocket their way into the play-off places. Knowing that they can move within touching distance of top spot here, AFC Wimbledon have remarkably won all of their previous five straight appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 11-4.

For Arsenal the night will be remembered for Eberechi Eze's first goal for the club, but for Port Vale they will look back at when they ran a Premier League giant to the very end, only to fall short and out of the Carabao Cup. Once Eze scored early on, it felt as if Arsenal would thrash their League One opponents, but instead it was a tight game as Port Vale gave everything.

Port Vale has competed against Everton at four different home grounds: Priory Road, Anfield, Goodison Park, and the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Filip Marschall has been linked with a move away from Aston Villa, with Port Vale submitting an offer for a loan agreement for the upcoming season.
