Confirmed Arsenal Team v Ipswich for Carabao Cup clash – Gyokeres starts
Arsenal begin their Carabao Cup campaign at Portman Road tonight as Mikel Arteta’s side face Ipswich Town in the third round.
The Gunners reached the final of this competition last season before suffering a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at Wembley, so tonight represents the beginning of another attempt to go one better.
Arsenal also arrive looking to maintain their excellent start to the new campaign and make it seven consecutive victories in all competitions.
Arsenal Confirmed Team Against Ipswich
As expected for a League Cup tie, there has been plenty of interest in how much Arteta would rotate his starting XI.

There were some fitness questions heading into the game. Jurrien Timber returned during the second half of Arsenal’s victory over Sunderland, while Ben White was forced off at half-time.
Cristhian Mosquera and William Saliba had both missed that trip as they continued their respective recoveries.
Arteta was certainly expecting plenty of enthusiasm from whoever was given the opportunity tonight, saying his players would be looking to win and improve after reviewing the Sunderland performance.
Another Strong Test At Portman Road
Ipswich shouldn’t be underestimated.
Gary O’Neil’s side have won two of their opening four Premier League matches, including a dramatic victory over Sunderland and Saturday’s 3-2 win against Crystal Palace.
With Portman Road under the lights and Ipswich also expected to make changes, this has all the ingredients of a proper cup tie.
Arsenal should still have enough quality in their squad to progress, but Arteta will want whoever gets the opportunity tonight to make it count.
What do you think, Gooners? Are you happy with Arteta’s starting XI, and which Arsenal player are you most interested in watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.
