In tonight’s third-round Carabao Cup match, Arsenal will face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Mikel Arteta, the manager of the Arsenal, has taken advantage of the chance to rest some of his key players.
David Raya recently replaced Aaron Ramsdale as the Premier League’s starting goalkeeper.
With Ramsdale being recalled to the starting lineup, Raya withdraws for tonight’s game.
After losing his spot on the first team, Takehiro Tomiyasu, a Japanese international, has been called up to start in defense.
Along with Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes in defense, Jacub Kiwior has also been called up to start this game.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is benched, and William Saliba is given the night off.
Declan Rice is out for Arsenal due to a back injury he sustained last weekend while playing for Tottenham.
The Ghanaian international is still recovering from a groin injury, so he joins Thomas Partey there.
Jorginho, who will be playing in the middle of the field, will be looking to atone for his appalling mistake from Sunday’s NLD.
Additionally, Emile Smith Rowe is given a rare opportunity to play in midfield alongside Kai Havertz.
Since Smith Rowe has had a terrible year, let’s hope he can show Arteta what he’s capable of.
Another player who will not play tonight is Bukayo Saka, who injured himself playing against Spurs.
Arsenal’s options on the wings are limited because Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard are still sidelined. Reiss Nelson makes his debut, and Charles Sagoe Jr., 19, makes his full debut.
Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard are both listed as reserves for Arsenal because Eddie Nketiah starts at center front.
These are the starting lineups for the match.
Arsenal.
Ramsdale; White; Gabriel; Kiwior; Tomiyasu; Smith Rowe; Havertz; Nelson; Nketiah; Sagoe Jr.
Substitutions include Hein, Cedric, Sweet, Walters, Zinchenko, Elneny, degaard, Cozier-Duberry, and Jesus.
Brentford.
