\n

Arsenal will face off against Port Vale at Vale Park this Wednesday night as they hope to secure a win on the road in the EFL Cup. The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Manchester City recently, so they would be desperate to return to winning ways in midweek.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta will stick with his favoured 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make a lot of tweaks to his first team for this clash. Ethan Nwaneri, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Bukayo Saka could all play from the start of this game.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Kepa Arrizabalaga will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners as he looks to keep a clean sheet this week. Cristhian Mosquera will play alongside Gabriel at the heart of the Arsenal<\/a> backline as they look to keep a good shape defensively throughout the game.<\/p>\n

Ben White will fill in as the right-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get a chance to go forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.<\/p>\n

Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber will be named on the bench as they provide cover for the defensive positions.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ethan Nwaneri, Christian Norgaard and Mikel Merino will make up Arsenal\u2019s midfield. They would all look to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer a few clear-cut chances on the offensive end of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi will have to settle for a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gabriel Martinelli will function as the left-sided wide player, while Bukayo Saka looks to weave his magic from the right flank. Both of them will try to get in behind the opposition\u2019s backline whenever they can.<\/p>\n

Leandro Trossard will spearhead Arteta\u2019s attack up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net versus Port Vale this Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres will be named on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Gunners need a goal by then.<\/p>\n
