Last year’s runners-up Arsenal begin their Carabao Cup campaign with a home tie against Brentford at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners have picked up some form in the league by winning four games on the spin, the latest being a 2-0 success over Everton.
Cup competitions might become important for Unai Emery’s men this season as they are still not up there to challenge for the league title. They face a Brentford team who are in good form in the Championship, placed 7th and just three points off the top. So this could be a tough test for Arsenal to pass.
Arsenal have a long list of injured players. Laurent Koscielny, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Sead Kolasinac and Konstantinos Mavropanos are the long-term absentees while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Sokratis are out for this game.
Petr Cech did very well to keep his first clean sheet of the season against Everton. Leno got his chance in the Europa League and so expect the German to start on Wednesday.
The Swiss international should get his game time in cup games, with Hector Bellerin getting the rest.
The youngster came on from the bench against Everton. Expect him to start this midweek.
The German might have to start again despite the niggles. Sokratis and Koscielny are out, so he is certain to play this game.
With Kolasinac and Maitland-Niles out, Monreal will probably start again at left-back.
