Overview
- Arsenal travel to Portman Road for the Carabao Cup third-round tie with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 BST on Tuesday, September 15.
- Mikel Arteta is widely reported to be planning extensive changes to the XI, with some outlets projecting as many as nine switches to preserve minutes across a congested early schedule.
- Defensive availability is the main concern for Arsenal as William Saliba remains out long-term, Cristhian Mosquera is a fitness doubt, and Ben White missed a training session after leaving the Sunderland game injured.
- Ipswich arrive in good form after recent cup and league wins and will look to use the Portman Road crowd to pressure a rotated Arsenal side.
- The match will be shown live on Sky Sports+ in the UK and the tie offers fringe players such as Viktor Gyokeres, Bruno Guimaraes and academy graduate Marli Salmon an opportunity to stake a claim for more minutes.
