It has been quite an impressive start to the season to say the least for Arsenal. Mikel Arteta's side sit top of the Premier League table with 11 wins out of a possible 13 and managed to avoid the Europa League knockout play-off round by topping their group, seeing them safely through to the last-16.
The Gunners are now set to embark on their Carabao Cup journey as they face Brighton at the Emirates Stadium in the competition's third round on Wednesday evening. Many teams make wholesale changes to their line-ups for fixtures in the Carabao Cup but Arteta has insisted he will name a strong team.
Ahead of the game, the Spaniard said: "We’re going to pick a very competitive team. I think everyone deserves chances, and we’ll make some changes with judgement in relation to the load of the players, but we’ll play to win."
