Arsenal will be hoping to extend their impressive winning run of form when they host Brentford in the Carabao Cup tonight.

The clash takes place at the Emirates stadium, while kick-off is scheduled for 19:45 (GMT).

Arsenal come into the mid-week clash off the back of five wins in a row. However, manager Unai Emery is likely to rotate his starting eleven for tonight’s cup clash.

Lorent Koscielny and Maitland-Niles are ruled out with long-term injuries. Meanwhile, Sead Kolasinac, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Sokratis are all unlikely to feature due to minor injuries.

Star playmaker Mesut Ozil is also expected to be rested with a tough clash with Watford FC on the horizon.

Summer signing Bernd Leno is expected to start in goal. Matteo Guendouzi, Mohamed Elneny and Eddie Nketiah are likely to feature tonight.
