On Tuesday, Arsenal travel to face Nottingham Forest in the third round of the newly named EFL Cup.
As ever, manager Arsene Wenger is likely to use the opportunity to rotate his squad. It’s a great chance for those who’ve struggled for regular football thus far in 2016/17 to stake their claim for a spot in the first XI.
This promises to be an intriguing encounter, as Arsenal could come up against a couple of familiar faces. Former Gunners midfielder Henri Lansbury wears the captain’s armband for Forest, who are also able to call upon ex-Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.
