Follow live coverage as Arsenal face Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup third round.

The Gunners fought out a memorable and hard-fought draw with Man City at the weekend, but given they were seconds from victory, the point will have felt like two lost at the Etihad. Mikel Arteta is rotating his pack heavily after that tense encounter, with 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter getting a debut between the sticks and Ethan Nwaneri another young starter.

It’s not all youth though, as Raheem Sterling makes his full debut, Bukayo Saka starts and Gabriel Jesus lines up in attack. Bolton face a tricky test to make it through the 90 minutes, but with the match being settled on the night with penalties if needed at full-time, there’s still a chance for them to make it into the fourth-round draw which takes place later tonight.
