Arsenal take on Blackpool in the fourth round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday evening.

Unai Emery’s side suffered a bitter end to their eleven run win streak as Crystal Palace’s late penalty held the Gunners to a 2-2 draw last Sunday. The Arsenal manager is seeking to make a number of changes to rest key players with the likes of 18-year-old starlet Emile Smith Rowe set to start while Eddie Nketiah is also in line for some substantial minutes. Blackpool have endured a stuttering start to their League One campaign and currently sit in 12th place but did knock out Championship QPR in the last round of the competition.
