Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Kepa Arrizabalaga – the Spaniard is Arsenal’s ‘cup keeper’, so he will start ahead of David Raya.
RB – Jurrien Timber – if Ben White is fit to start, then he will be selected ahead of the Dutchman.
CB – Cristhian Mosquera – the Spaniard is expected to retain his place, with William Saliba unlikely to be risked following an ankle injury.
CB – Gabriel – the centre-back’s leadership will be needed in what will be a physical battle against a lower league opponent.
LB – Riccardo Calafiori – the Italian has been waiting to get back into the starting lineup, so he needs to take his opportunity.
