Arsenal is set to face Bolton Wanderers in the third round of the Carabao Cup tonight at the Emirates Stadium. This match presents an opportunity for Mikel Arteta to rotate his squad and give some of the younger players a chance to shine.
Mikel Arteta has made several changes to the lineup following a grueling 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Key players like David Raya and Jurrien Timber, are nursing injuries and are rested. Leandro Trossard is suspended after his red card in the City match. Additionally, Martin Odegaard, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Kieran Tierney are all sidelined with various injuries.
16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter is expected to start, making his debut for the senior team. Other youngsters like Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Josh Nichols are also set to feature in the starting lineup.
Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from their recent draw and make a strong statement in the Carabao Cup. Despite the injuries and suspensions, the Gunners have enough depth to field a competitive team. The inclusion of young talents adds an exciting element to the match, as fans will be eager to see how they perform on the big stage.
