Arsenal will travel to Highbury Stadium to face League Two side Fleetwood Town in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday. Following a 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton, manager Mikel Arteta is expected to heavily rotate his squad and give opportunities to fringe players and academy talents against lower-league opposition.

Writer Lennie Teague projects Arsenal to line up in a 4-3-3 formation featuring Kepa Arrizabalaga in goal. Teague's predicted lineup includes Martín Zubimendi, Marli Salmon, Cristhian Mosquera, and Piero Hincapié in defense, a midfield of Bruno Guimarães, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Mikel Merino, with Max Dowman, Andre Harriman-Annous, and Eberechi Eze in attack.
