Arsenal Predicted XI vs Leicester City: Mikel Arteta set to make big changes for League Cup tie

Arsenal travel to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester City in their Carabao Cup third round tie on Wednesday.

The Gunners head into the match after winning their opening two Premier League matches against Fulham and West Ham respectively.

Now Mikel Arteta gets to take on the challenge of the League Cup for the first time as a manager.

Arsenal have only won the competition twice, with their last victory coming in 1993, while their hosts have lifted the trophy on three occasions, most recently in 2000.

With a big squad at his disposal and Liverpool to come on Monday in the league, Arteta is expected to shuffle his pack.
