Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named nine changes to his starting line-up for the Carabao Cup third-round fixture against Ipswich Town this evening.
Arsenal arrive in fine form, having secured six consecutive victories, and will look to extend that streak when they face Ipswich at Portman Road.
Ahead of the tie, Arteta has opted for a significantly refreshed squad, making nine alterations from the previous starting eleven.
Kepa Arrizabalaga takes his place in goal in place of David Raya.
In defence, Ezri Konsa and Riccardo Calafiori have been rested, while Ben White is unavailable through a groin setback.
Martin Zubimendi has been deployed at right-back for the evening, with Myles Lewis-Skelly covering the opposite side.
Seventeen-year-old Marli Salmon joins Gabriel in central defence.
In midfield, Bruno Guimaraes and Mikel Merino have been selected, with Declan Rice given a well-deserved rest.
The attacking line-up has also been reshaped. Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze start on the flanks, while Max Dowman occupies the No. 10 position.
Viktor Gyokeres leads the attack as the lone striker.
Confirmed XI (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Zubimendi, Salmon, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Guimaraes, Merino; Madueke, Dowman, Eze; Gyokeres.
